[WP] The good news: you're doing "Groundhog Day" of your favourite day. The bad news: one detail is permanently changed every day you relive it. The worse news: it's been so long that you recognise nothing of the original day.

[WP] Ragnarok is upon us, and Thor and Jormungandr gear up to fight each other. Before the clash, however, Jormungandr offhandedly points out that both their fathers are assholes; this triggers something in Thor and winds up talking with Jormungandr about their family issues rather than fighting.

[WP] Zeus, Odin, Jupiter and Amun-Ra are on a road trip across the stars, with Indra at the wheel. Wedged in the middle of the back seat, Odin complains that he has to go to the toilet again, and all the arguments of the last 4,000 lightyears are re-ignited.

[WP] You find yourself at a fork in a wood and remember the poem that said "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." Except you see three identically-worn paths, and the road that looks less traveled is the one you just arrived by.

[WP] You buy a Polaroid camera from a yard sale that takes pictures of the future with the future date on them. You take pictures of your bank account, text messages and internet history to forewarn yourself of anything bad. Today, it pays off.

[WP] It's the classic story; you come across a talking frog who says they're really royalty cursed to be a frog and can only be cured with a kiss. You take a chance, kiss the frog and *POOF* it works! Everything's bigger, you're now a frog, you crave flies and- wait, what?

[WP] You come across a monkey's paw with one wish left. You wish for total human-like two-way communication with all animals. As the last finger curls up, you start hearing birds talking like people, but soon find out that no human can understand you; in fact, they start treating you like an animal.
