When I associate the word Viking with modern Scandinavians my only thought is "what the hell happened to those guys???? They used to be so cool!!!!" I'm not a real reverend, I just play one on CP.

Vikings invaded my birthland too, in 9th and 10th centuries. The main difference is they stayed there, on lands "given" by the French King, and founded Normandy ("land of people from the North"). So I may have some Vikings ancesters somewhere in the genealogic tree :) So I came to find To end up this way Feeling like I'm God Feeling there's no way KoRn

Interesting! I didn't know this. I think I'll check the "history books" on this one. -- Giles wrote: You Scandinavians invaded my home land, like 1500 (+-500) years ago, and kept coming back for more.

The city I'm living in was "founded" by the vikings... lots and lots of viking ruins around the city. Have a look at my profile. There is a link to Waterford City there. Regards, Brian Dela :-)
