[edit] Correction
It is a popular misconception to think the names Huginn and Muninn translate into "Thought" and "Memory". If this were the case, their names would be "Hugh" and "Munn" in Old Norse. The "-inn" suffixes indicates "mastery of" as is found in Oðinn "Master of Oð". This should be corrected. - Octane818, 21 March 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.217.140.83 (talk) 15:27, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Popular culture
None of the below seems in the least interesting, notable or worthwhile to me. I removed it from the article. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 17:24, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Along with Odin, Hugin and Mugin appear in "Odin's Ravens", a racing game by Thorsten Gimmler, published in Europe by Kosmos, and later published in the USA by Rio Grand Games.
Hugin and Muninn appear in Neil Gaiman's novel American Gods, along with their master Odin and the wolves Freki and Geri.
At a point in the movie, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Ron Burgundy exclaims "Great Odin's raven!".
Munin, Freki,Hati, Skoll and Geri are all pack member terms in Laurel K Hamilton's Anita Blake - The Vampire Hunter Book series.
[edit] "List of fictional birds"
Should that be included in an article based on mythology? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.183.207.238 (talk) 06:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
