Before man knew how to tie his own shoes (before he
even knew what shoelaces were) Vikings sailed the

you’d ever seen
Asterix and Cleopatra
you’d understand how this was done).
Enjoyable though it was there was still something
missing from the hard and fast life of the Vikings.

towns.
However, strong and well learned were their behaviors
and stealing and killing and such ran in their blood.
Because of these age-old habits, these burly, bearded
men and women didn’t last long with out picking fights

killing between his clan members.
As
he sat there and pondered on his tree stump he was
