The Viking Appreciation Society
Information
The Viking Appreciation Group.
In the old days, there lived a people in the north of the world. They were the Norsemen. Some were traders, some were farmers and fishermen. Some were Vikings. These few Norsemen braved the cold water of the North and traveled to foreign shores to seek treasure and wealth. They did not believe in the Christ. They believed in Odin and Thor. They used Odin’s ravens to help them navigate and they struck with great strength like the hammer of Thor.
The Vikings instantly struck fear into the heart of the Christian north as they did not hesitate to attack the rich towns and monasteries of England.
The Viking long boat enabled the Vikings to raid as far as the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. The stories and the legends of the Vikings have inspired many stories, songs and movies. The Norsemen settled Iceland, Greenland and created settlements in Vinland in North America. The Norsemen would later become the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden and influence the history of Northern Europe.
This group is to tell the legends and stories of the Norse People when great navigators sailed the sea and great warriors carved their name into the stones of history.
All are welcome.

Columbus, my ass! Did he only know that when he set sails to America, Iceland had had a democratic election system for 500 years? (that was a quizz question last time we played in GP before moving to wlc, wasn't it?)

That is even more interesting! Do you all know about the Minesota Stone? Few people know that the vikings went as far as Minesota in their exploration of the American continent and this stone prooves it.

I'm glad this group now exists, because I really didn't appreciate the Vikings when I was young and Fran Tarkenton played for them. However, now they have Adrian Peterson from Oklahoma in their backfield and their offense is so much better.
