Nope. Vikings discovered the land bridge. Those guys really got around. They were highly motivated to get out of the house. Ever see a Viking wife? Eisboch |

They were highly motivated to get out of the house. Ever see a Viking
wife? Eisboch ================================= You mean they didn't all look like the one doing the shaving cream commercial??? ("Take it off,....take it all off!!) And as far as Anglo/Viking boaters, it was the Arabs that taught us how to sail..... ============================================ |
