Their evidence sounds pretty weak to me.

Absolutely!

When they inquired why, he replied that he intended to scatter the English silver around when parliament was in full session, hoping to instigate a fight.

Sounds like he had the right attitude to make it in the NFL on the defensive side of the ball.

Egil early showed considerable promise; he got drunk at three and killed at six.

Promise of what?

During his long life, Egil not only killed but also gouged eyes out of some of his enemies and vomited over others.

We finally found a disgusting habit that the dregs of modern society have yet to find fashionable.

We had George Washington; they had Egil.

It is fortunate that they only got as far as Newfoundland.

Good afternoon.
"I bet he was fun."

The story is told that he killed for the first time when another boy beat him at a game. Egil grabbed an ax and split the boy's skull. Supposedly Egil's mother was very proud of him and paid the blood debt to the dead boy's family with a smile on her face.

Some people believe that he had a disease of the brain that made him so crazy violent.
