...most-wanted list with jaywalkers, squeegee men and a Norwegian guy who thinks he's a fly. Last week THOR ALEX KAPPFJELL, 32, raised the mayor's ire following a Big Apple airborne binge in which he parachuted from the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. After jumping from the latter, the dreadless Norseman hailed a cab and disappeared. (No word on whether he wore his seat belt.)
