Would have been a Viking

But now just a nerd, and FSM bless him. An able example of how culture shapes us - 600 years or so ago this giant happy Norwegian nerd would no doubt have been a pillaging Viking, hell bent on burning and raping and some of that old time destruction, like his Fathers before him.

Progress, you see? We're slowly becoming a more peaceful species. But there's gonna be some bumps in the road along the way.

Norway, represent. One of my favorite sights in Iceland was Vikings like this crammed into tiny, fuel-efficient Nissans. Less pillaging, more sustainability!
