Nextmanup Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 8 hours ago, without a drought said: The average viking was somewhere between 5'6" and 5'8". That seems low to me, especially given the geography involved. Northern Europeans are STILL quite tall relative to the rest of Europe. In order to be able to join the Roman army under Trajan (@ 100AD) you had to be at least 5'11". Historic people weren't as "small" as modern folks seem to think. Not sure where that got started. They were smaller/shorter to a degree, sure, but not "little". 53 minutes ago, Einstein said: I get mocked for starting threads about my genuine opinion on the play and efficacy of players and coaches, but others can start threads about seeing tall humans around town and people love it. Kinda funny. I've mentioned this before in the context of Einstein Hate at this forum...but remember...most people here do NOT actually want to discuss football in a detailed, objective way. That's NOT why they are here. And almost all threads here can go into like only 4 or 5 main categories of thread, and they just get keep getting repeated and repeated and repeated. Now that I think about it, we haven't had a "I hate Mike Schopp" and "WGR-550 sports radio is terrible" double header thread in a few weeks. We are due! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a Viking man's appearance was more feminine than that of men today, with a less prominent jaw and brow ridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakout Squad Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 8 hours ago, Nextmanup said: I don't think "actual vikings" means NFL football players from Minnesota. I think he means actual Norse raiders with axes and stuff. Now are we talking about the raiding Vikings or the ones that settled in Northumbria?

I was going to give them some crap and realized they were actual Vikings. The shortest dude was 6'6". I am ashamed.

"Skoal" is a smokeless tobacco, "skol" is the Scandanavian greeting, similar to "cheers" or "good health". Let's be careful out there.

I will ask the residents of the home of Leif Erikson what actual vikings looked like and why there are so many of them prowling the streets of Buffalo this weekend. What better place is there to watch a Bills-Vikings game! We have reserved 3 tables at a place called "The American Bar". They show some games, but were unconcerned about showing the Bills... until I told them they were playing the Vikings! Now, we are guaranteed to watch the game. (At least until they figure out we are rooting again Erik the Red and his cohorts...) Edited November 13, 2022 by RangerDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
