Yes it is.

Why should that be amusing? The idea is not original with me or with
Michael Crichton (that book was by Michael Crichton, I believe).

What does Snorre Sturluson mean when he says that such and such a family
was 'half-troll'? I'd say that the description of Egil Skallagrimson's
skeletal remains (at the very end if "Egil's Saga") is suggestive to say
the least.

There's lots of other stuff.
