Þökk

Þökk (Old Norse "Thanks") is a Jötunn in Norse mythology, presumed to be Loki in disguise, who refuses to weep for the slain Baldr, thus forcing him to stay in Hel.

Prose Edda

After Baldr was killed, Hermóðr rode to Hel. Hel, the ruler of the realm of the same name, agreed that Baldr should go back to the living if all things in the world wept for him. So the Æsir sent messengers all over the word, and all wept for him, but:

  • Cryptonomicon

    Cryptonomicon is a 1999 novel by American author Neal Stephenson, set in two different time periods. One group of characters are World War II-era Allied codebreakers and tactical-deception operatives affiliated with the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, and disillusioned Axis military and intelligence figures. The second narrative is set in the late 1990s, with characters that are (in part) descendants of those of the earlier time period, who employ cryptologic, telecom and computer technology to build an underground data haven in the fictional Sultanate of Kinakuta. Their goal is to facilitate anonymous Internet banking using electronic money and (later) digital gold currency, with a long-term objective to distribute Holocaust Education and Avoidance Pod (HEAP) media for instructing genocide-target populations on defensive warfare.

    Genre and subject matter

    Cryptonomicon is closer to the genres of historical fiction and contemporary techno-thriller than to the science fiction of Stephenson's two previous novels, Snow Crash and Diamond Age. It features fictionalized characterizations of such historical figures as Alan Turing, Albert Einstein, Douglas MacArthur, Winston Churchill, Isoroku Yamamoto, Karl Dönitz, Hermann Göring, and Ronald Reagan, as well as some highly technical and detailed descriptions of modern cryptography and information security, with discussions of prime numbers, modular arithmetic, and Van Eck phreaking.

    Sajde Mein Yun Hi Jhukta Hoon, Tum Pe Hi Aa Ke Rukta Hoon
    Kya Yeh Sab Ko Hota Hai?
    Hum Ko Kya Lena Hai Sab Se, Tum Se Hi Sab Baatein Ab Se
    Ban Gaye Ho Tum Meri Dua
    Sajde Mein Yun Hi Jhukta Hoon, Tum Pe Hi Aa Ke Rukta Hoon
    Kya Yeh Sab Ko Hota Hai?
    Hum Ko Kya Lena Hai Sab Se, Tum Se Hi Sab Baatein Ab Se
    Ban Gaye Ho Tum Meri Dua
    Khuda Jaane Ke.. Main Fida Hoon, Khuda Jaane Main.. Mitt Gaya
    Khuda Jaane Yeh.. Kyun Hua Hai, Ke Ban Gaye Ho Tum Mere Khuda
    Tu Kahe To Tere Hi Sanam Ke Main Nishanon Pe, Chalun Rukun Ishaare Pe
    Tu Kahe To Khwabon Ka Bana Ke Main Bahana Sa, Mila Karun Sirhaane Pe
    Ho, Tum Se Dil Ki Baatien Seekhi, Tum Se Hi Yeh Raahein Seekhi
    Tum Pe Marr Ke Main To, Jee Gaaya..
    Khuda Jaane Ke.. Main Fida Hoon, Khuda Jaane Main.. Mitt Gaya
    Khuda Jaane Yeh.. Kyun Hua Hai, Ke Ban Gaye Ho Tum Mere Khuda
    Sajde Mein Yun Hi Jhukta Hoon, Tum Pe Hi Aa Ke Rukta Hoon
    Kya Yeh Sab Ko Hota Hai?
    Hum Ko Kya Lena Hai Sab Se, Tum Se Hi Sab Baatein Ab Se
    Ban Gaye Ho Tum Meri Dua
    Khuda Jaane Ke.. Main Fida Hoon, Khuda Jaane Main.. Mitt Gaya
    Khuda Jaane Yeh Kyun Hua Hai, Ke Ban Gaye Ho Tum Mere Khuda
