Vikings Were Pretty

[snurri]

The university's department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic has published a guide revealing how much of the Vikings' history has been misrepresented.

They did not, in fact, wear horned or winged helmets. And they appear to have been a vain race who were concerned about their appearance.

Seriously, the helmet thing drives me nuts. Particularly living in a state where the football mascot wears big stupid horns.

Gives a whole new spin to "Viking In The Sack", doesn't it?

(I use the Stitch icon because I think he and the VIkings had a lot in common. Yis.)

I'm now picturing a Viking who keeps interrupting the lovin' to tie back his glorious blond hair.
