Disinformation from Danish Cartoons lead to World wide misunderstanding of the poor Vikings and their style of dress. The Danes must be made to suffer should they not apologize and retract those cartoons immediately.

It is an offshoot of “Talk Like a Pirate Day”.

Along with “Talk Like a Caveman Day” and “Talk Like a Truther Day”.

Sounds unlikely to me. We aren’t talking about a Mediteranean climate here. All the exposed parts woulda been frostbitten. Now there’s a fashionable look. We went to Stockholm in May, back in the 70’s and there was still snow on the ground in places outside the city.

No way.

They would have never built boats and left home.

>>“Talk Like a Truther Day”.<<

OMG!!!
Please, in the future use the “LIQUID ALERT” warning on your ultra-witty posts.

It saves lives.....(I nearly choked to death! LOL!)

Danish bog finds indicate women (in summer I assume) wore a very short skirt and short top.

I would assume the summer or those Viking women were a lot tougher than we thought. Skimpy clothing and Scandanavian winters do not go together.

Ahem.

"Their clothing was designed to be shown off indoors around the fire," says textile researcher Annika Larsson."
