I've studied Norway, Sweden, Denmark a lot considering I have some Norwegian blood in me.  I usually refer to myself as a Viking.  I find the Viking era one of the most interesting eras in history.  Vikings contributed a lot more than just pillaging.  They basically set up Dublin as one of their main trade cities.  They helped found Russia by clearing out the barbarians that were blocking the river trade routes (they pretty much organized the disorganized tribes that were living in Russia at the time).  The name Russia comes from the Rus Vikings.  I can go on and on...  Oh and I don't like all the credit that goes to Christopher Columbus.  Leif Ericson deserves more credit.

yeah that's true. many people think vikings were stupid idiots or something. they were the most progressive humans of that time. just ask pezus after "althing"!
