This wasn't about the Minnesota Vikings throwing a ton of money at an unproven Icelandic quarterback?
 
So what its 10 years old. Did YOU read about it at any time between then & now? Go troll something else.


It's also a news story Misclit. I know, above your knowledge level.
 
Things are always "news". News is defined as "Information about recent events or happenings, especially as reported by newspapers, periodicals, radio, or television."

I bolded the important part.

Pointing out that your thread is in the wrong forum isn't trolling. :lol:

BTW, this isn't TNZ. Weak attempts at flaming me by misstating my username aren't allowed here. Shame on you.
 
Drawing flies. & again, not wrong forum, a news bit is a media item.



The author of Fóstbræðra saga wrote in chapter 3 that in saga age Iceland, very few men were armed with swords. Of the 100+ weapons found in Viking age pagan burials in Iceland, only 16 are swords.

A sword might be the most expensive item that a man owned. The one sword whose value is given in the sagas (given by King Hákon to Höskuldur in chapter 13 of Laxdæla saga) was said to be worth a half mark of gold. In saga age Iceland, that represented the value of sixteen milk-cows, a very substantial sum.

Swords were heirlooms. They were given names and passed from father to son for generations. The loss of a sword was a catastrophe.

While you're at it...could you post in Misc. the score to the 1998 Rose Bowl?
 
I wonder if any Vikings have been found in Iceland. Damned liberal media...not keeping the public up-to-date with current and earth shattering news.
