	OMACL: Heimskringla: Saga of Olaf Haraldson: Part IV
		Thorkel Fosterer was to be in peace and friendship with Earl Einar; and it was agreed that each of them should give a feast to the other, and that the earl should first be Thorkel's guest at Sandwick.
		Thorkel and his two comrades then went in all haste out of the other door opposite to that by which they went in, and Thorkel's men were standing without fully armed.
		Thorkel Fosterer was then with the king, and he privately sent a person to Earl Thorfin, and told him, whatever his intentions might be, not to think of leaving Olaf without being reconciled with him, as he stood entirely in Olaf's power.

	Northvegr - THE STORY OF GISLI THE OUTLAW
		THORKEL the Soursop was very fond of dress and very lazy; he did not do a stroke of work in the housekeeping of those brothers; but Gisli worked night and day.
		But Thorkel was cross, and bade her be off.
		Thorkel tells his brother Gisli that he wishes to share all their goods between them, for he is going to join housekeeping with his brother-in-law Thorgrim.

		Pedro, Thorkel's kennel keeper, let it slip that a feed lot's worth of livestock had entered the researcher's lab never to be seen again while the cat kept growing fatter.
		Thorkel had devised a method of shrinking living organisms to one-fifth their original size.
		One could argue that Thorkel's invention is already in the wrong hands but given that he's conducting his studies in South America during World War II things could probably get worse if the German High Command took an interest in what he's doing.

	The Saga of Erik the Red
		Because Thorkel was the leading householder there it was considered his responsibility to find out when these hard times which now troubled them would come to an end, so he invited her to his home, and a good reception was prepared for her, as was the custom when a woman of this kind was received.
		Master Thorkel took the prophetess by the hand and led her to the seat which had been made ready for her.
		Then where the tables where cleared away franklin Thorkel walked up to Thorbjorg and asked what she thought of the household there and men's state and condition, and how soon he would be informed as to the things he had asked her and which men wanted to know.

		By the time Canute ruled England, Thorkel was nineteen and had heard as much about the old scare as he wanted, from the naked lips of men who might be able to read and to write, but who wouldn't know one end of a longship from the other.
		Thorkel was ready to go home, although he had been well entertained and lacked for nothing away from the table.
		Thorkel Amundason took back to the ships a sword as red as the rest, having fought with his usual skill, avoiding the eyes of those Maere men with whom he was friendly.

	Orkneyjar - Earl Thorfinn the Mighty
		Thorkel, whose father had already refused to speak to the earl, was asked to speak to Einar on behalf of the people of Orkney.
		Thorkel agreed, but at the Thing, the earl flew into a rage, forcing Thorkel to flee to Caithness and seek refuge with Thorfinn.
		Thorkel was regularly despatched back to Orkney to gather Thorfinn’s taxes – something that rankled Einar, who held Thorkel responsible for Thorfinn’s uprising and subsequent acquisition of part of the earldom.

	Dr. Cyclops (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Here it is the sinister Dr. Thorkel (a surprise performance by the usually suave Albert Dekker), totally bald and with the weakest of eyesight.
		Thorkel's reputation is great, so when he requests three fellow scientists to come to a remote locale in the Andes to aid him, they comply.
		They discover that Thorkel has found a huge deposit of uranium and is using it for the usual vague quest for the "source of life," which for some reason involves shrinking living beings to a tenth of their usual size.

		NOW Thorkel Krafla got very old; he had the rule of Waterdale and was a great man. He was bosom friend of Asmund the Greyhaired, as was beseeming for the sake of their kinship; he was wont to ride to Biarg every
		Some time after this Thorkel made him ready to ride to the Thing, he rode with sixty men, for all went with him who were in his rule: thus he came to Biarg, and therefrom rode Grettir with him.
		Thorkel says, "This has come to pass most unluckily, for Skeggi was given to my following, and was, nathless, a man of good kin; but I shall deal thus with the matter: I shall give boot for the man as the doom goes, but the outlawry I may not settle.

	Dr. Cyclops
		Thorkel doesn’t take it very well when Mendoza starts demanding that he put a halt to his experiments, and the more adamant Mendoza becomes, the less his boss likes it.
		Thorkel’s third draft pick is a mineralogist who specializes in radioactive elements, but that man backs out when he gets sick up in the mountains.
		This ray, or so says Thorkel, has the power to work all manner of nearly miraculous changes on living matter, and now that Bullfinch and Stockton have provided the last missing piece of the puzzle by analyzing the outcome of his last experiment, the scientist should be able to control its effects almost completely.

		Thorkel had an axe in his hands, with which he cut at him who sat outmost on the log.
		Thorkel hewed with his axe; but the viking twitched his head so strongly that he who was holding his hair fell forwards, and the axe cut off both his hands, and stuck fast in the earth.

	Classic Science Fiction Reviews
		Thorkel (Dekker) is not only a great biologist; he's also fortunate enough to have learned of an astonishingly rich deposit of radium deep in the Amazon jungle.
		And though Thorkel looks like another Dr. Moreau, obsessively plotting biological domination from his isolated laboratory, he's both less obviously twisted and more opaque: The audience is given few clues to what underlies Thorkel's obsession, which was certainly not the case with Moreau.
		In the other, Thorkel has captured Bulfinch in a net; as he carries the net into the house, the little Bulfinch struggles madly, kicking his feet impotently against the mesh.

	TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES
		Dr. Alexander Thorkel (Albert Dekker) is "the world's greatest living authority on organic molecular structure." He maintains a laboratory in the jungle mountains of Peru, because of its proximity to a large radioactive deposit.
		Thorkel's eyesight is failing him, so he sends for a fellow scientist, Dr. Rupert Bulfinch (Charles Halton), to verify his findings under microscope.
		The party refuses, and upon discovering the local uranium deposit, they break into Thorkel's lab and find out the nature of his experiments: he has built a radioactive chamber with which he can shrink living organisms — including people — to the size of mice.

		Thorkel waits till the right moment for the others to once again ask him what is his research about, he invites them into his laboratory and they agree with enthusiasm.
		Albert Dekker's portrayal of Alexander Thorkel is properly cold and sadistic, tormenting his tiny victims as a cat plays with a mouse; the special effects are considerably advanced beyond those in Devil Doll; and the parallel between the Cyclops in the Odyssey and the one eyed Thorkel is well handled.
