Anyone up on their Norse mythology and willing to answer some questions for Alex? We read a story about Loki and Baldur, and she has questions I don't know the answers to.

Here are her questions:
If Baldur was the god of light, was it dark all the time after he was killed?
Why did Loki want to kill Baldur?
Why was Loki so mean?

Edited to add: If you want to have a try at some more of her questions that are stumping me this morning, here you go:

Why did the Romans want to have more money and power than other people?

and

Did Mr. McCain disagree with Jesus?

I swear to God I did nothing to elicit that last comparison.

Yes, it's dark after Balder dies, right up until springtime (winter in the artic circle).

P.S. Loki is the king of Fiendishly Clever Plans, but he doesn't think them through very well. Give him a challenge, he'll solve it. That perhaps it shouldn't have been solved is someone else's problem.
