Note to self: Never say Norse food is bad in front of one.

We learn it early at school.
Wait a few moments, i'll post a link
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking#Horned_helmets](...) No depiction of Viking Age warriors' helmets, and no preserved helmet, has horns. In fact, the formal close-quarters style of Viking combat (either in shield walls or aboard "ship islands") would have made horned helmets cumbersome and hazardous to the warrior's own side.

Well obviously they take the horns off to do badass viking things and then put the horns back on to do their everyday vikingly things.
I don't understand what's going on in this video :tinfoil:
Celtic helmets had horns apparently.

I suspect historical accuracy wasn't one of their biggest concerns in this production.

No horned Viking helmets have ever been found.
Also:
[i]The general misconception that Viking warriors wore horned helmets was partly promulgated by the 19th century enthusiasts of Götiska Förbundet, founded in 1811 in Stockholm, Sweden. They promoted the use of Norse mythology as the subject of high art and other ethnological and moral aims.[/i]

and to support my theory of the removal of the horns: A viking swears an oath at birth to take the horns off and throws them as far as they can if they are about to die.

Why good sir, I do believe you have completely misinterpreted my posts for actually being serious. When, in reality I was, in fact, making a joke. Good day to you sir.

The internet requires a standard for implying sarcasm. Italics maybe?
oh norwegians.
What the shit are you talking about? Viking women would raise a baby with one hand, and hit you with a table with the other.

Nah.
I'm learning English over the internet, and you guys are my "teachers".
Telling me what's wrong and so on.
I want a foam table! :saddowns:
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
Inaccurate video.
