real sick of how commercialized Leif Erikson Day has become. It's like right after Botswana Day you already start hearing Leif Erikson music in all the stores. Shameful.

How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore, Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords."

Why do people like Vikings? The only things they were famous for were murder and armed robbery.

Rambling Robot posted:LOL. Or are you speaking about the stupid tv show? "I have never seen more perfect physical specimens, tall as date palms, blond and ruddy; they wear neither tunics nor kaftans, but the men wear a garment which covers one side of the body and leaves a hand free. Each man has an axe, a sword, and a knife, and keeps each by him at all times. Each woman wears on either breast a box of iron, silver, copper, or gold; the value of the box indicates the wealth of the husband. Each box has a ring from which depends a knife. The women wear neck-rings of gold and silver. Their most prized ornaments are green glass beads. They string them as necklaces for their women." -Ahmad Ibn Fadlan ca. 922

the first east/west conflict in the new world happened when the vikings gave the natives some milk. lactose intolerance tummy aches were mistaken for poisoning so they attacked in revenge. basically the first east/west encounter was like a sitcom misunderstanding episode. also the redskins should change their name to The Skraelings imo.

I spoke with a guy named Leif Erikson (or some spelling variant) at my job once. A lady was transferring the telephone call to me. I pulled up the file and said "Are you loving kidding me, Leif Erikson?! Send him right through!" I was expecting to pat him metaphorically on the back for being a cool guy. Turns out he was a giant douchebag and I was really let down by it.
