Slice
I know vikings were yesterdays inspirational idea, but today seems to work just as well for me. Vikings were some of the worlds best explorers. They first discovered Greenland, and then were among the first Europeans to discover the New World. For those who don't know what the New World is, it is an old fashioned way of referring to the Americas. Some people believe that the Vikings were the first to get Tuberculosis, and were the ones to give it to cows, who subsequently gave it back to humans.

That's really interesting about Tuberculosis and the Vikings.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that though the Vikings have a long history invading what is now the Great Britain, the English language is not too heavily influenced by their language.
