Swedish Chef Wins Dubai

Henrik Stenson (left) held off Ernie Els and Tiger Woods (who despite the loss is still on a winning streak somehow) to win the Dubai Desert Classic. I know what you're asking--"Who cares? It's the European Tour." I know, and I agree. The question is: Henrik Stenson's new wife, Norse goddess "Iðunn." Hot or not?

Here she is from the Ryder Cup.














Here she is again.
















And here she is making out with Henrik after his win.












You may also wonder how Stenson's wife, Norse goddess Idunn, is related to Tiger Woods's wife, the Norse goddess Freyja. Well, to quote Wikipedia:

Iðunn was, in Norse mythology, one of the goddesses. According to the Prose Edda she was the custodian of apples which allowed the Æsir to maintain their eternal youthfulness. She was the wife of Bragi, god of poetry.

As related in Haustlöng Iðunn was at one time abducted with her apples by the giant Þjazi, who used Loki as a stooge to lure Iðunn out of Ásgarðr. During her absence, the Æsir began to age without the rejuvenating qualities of her apples, prompting them to press Loki into the task of rescuing her. Borrowing Freyja's falcon skin, he retrieved Iðunn from Þrymheimr, transforming her into the form of a nut for the flight back. Þjazi, displeased, pursued them in the form of an eagle, but was defeated by having his wings set alight by a bonfire created by the Æsir.

There, got it? Aesir needed Henrik Stenson's wife's apples to stop his aging, so he borrowed Tiger Woods's wife's falcon skin to go find her, turned her into a nut and brought her back. End of story.

I can only conclude that elite golfers are marrying Norse goddesses in an attempt to breed a super species that possess incredible golfing skills, uncanny good looks, and the magical power bestowed upon them by Loki and the rest of that wacky gang from Valhalla. As if their lives weren't good enough, they have to separate themselves from the realms of the mortal. Great.
