The Waterfall of the Gods is so named because, according to the Icelandic Saga of Christianity, Thorgeir, a former pagan chieftain, denounced his beliefs by
throwing wooden carvings of pagan gods into the falls.
I use a soup tureen for all those little things you can't seem to
throw away, just in case they belong to something important, a
carved wooden box to store vitamins on the kitchen counter (so we can remember to take them) and a three tire basket for mail, newspapers and such.
