Odin, Vili, and Vé killed the giant Ymir.
When Ymir fell, there issued from his wounds such a
flood of blood, that all the frost ogres were drowned,
except for the giant Bergelmir who escaped with his
wife by climbing onto a lur [a hollowed-out tree trunk
that could serve either as a boat or a coffin]. From
them spring the families of frost ogres.
The sons of Bor then carried Ymir to the middle of
Ginnungagap and made the world from him. From his
blood they made the sea and the lakes; from his flesh
the earth; from his hair the trees; and from his bones
the mountains. They made rocks and pebbles from
his teeth and jaws and those bones that were broken.
Maggots appeared in Ymir's flesh and came to life. By
the decree of the gods they acquired human

they lived in the earth and in rocks.
From Ymir's skull the sons of Bor made the sky and
set it over the earth with its four sides. Under each
corner they put a dwarf, whose names are East,
West, North, and South.
The sons of Bor flung Ymir's brains into the air, and
they became the clouds.
Then they took the sparks and burning embers that
were flying about after they had been blown out of
Muspell, and placed them in the midst of
Ginnungagap to give light to heaven above and earth
beneath. To the stars they gave appointed places and
paths.
The earth was surrounded by a deep sea. The sons of
Bor gave lands near the sea to the families of giants
for their settlements.
To protect themselves from the hostile giants, the
sons of Bor built for themselves an inland stonghold,
using Ymir's eyebrows. This stonghold they named
Midgard. [...]

My Aunt who looks like Joanie from Happy Days says that humor is a way to escape intimacy. Maybe it's not the chicks on this site but your humor. But then that is guru Joanie talking with a poodle skirt on.
