Eh, i think you people should know scandinavia aint all ice and snow. In the winters, yes we get snow, and yes we get ice... but in the summer the temperature is usually above ten degress in the most northern regions and in the southern parts it gets about 20-30. Celsius that is.. And well viking is an old word for pirate, it's another common misunderstanding that all scandinavian people that lived in the years 800-1200 were vikings. And well vikings did go as far as to Byzans, now known as Istanbul. There they served as guards and the emperor payed them to fight for him.
Well...Lets set up a branch office someplace where its warm during winter. Doesn't have to be Cancun Mexico; Ft. Lauderdale, Hong Kong, or French Rivera has temperate climates.
vikings have lots of hair *muses the lozi with a hair obsession* mmmmm tasty. they maybe vaguelly smell ALOT however, this is what the Yorvick Viking centre in York taught me.
Mead is actually wine made of honey, and it's still being sold here and there, like on metal festivals. It's very very nice. Vikings are cool. I wanna crush some christian scum, loot their monasteries and drive swords, axes and spears through their priests. And braid my hair. ^_^
Whoa, yeah! I looooooooove long hair!! ^_^ And other people's body odour isn't so bad if you yourself reek so strongly no other scents can penetrate the orb of stench around you, which obviously will be the case if you're on a ship for a few months and the seas are too filled with seamonsters to try and bathe. ^_^
