Viking Zeitgeist

     Yikes, Vikings are hip - I was returning from vacation with my sweetie 
     last week, and there in the NY times, among a spread of the usual 
     horrific car-wrecks that pass for fashion models these days was a tall 
     statuesque beauty wearing a Betsy Johnson design consisting of a 
     metallic hip-slung skirt, a metal bra thing, a shield and a GIANT 
     viking helmet.

>>>>>And it's about time Vikings got some respect.  Too often associated only with pillage and rape.  And too often tossed in with bad-guy groups: Goths, Visigoths, Huns and Mongolian hoards. Hope the Minnesota contingent will agree. :-)
