I wasn't there! I swear I have an alibi.
I was playing poker with the Cro-Magnonsover at Lascaux.

That would be the Wootz steel. High carbon crucible steel alloy used in the manufacture of high quality swords such as the Ulfberht and Ingelrii inscribed swords.
Those Norse traders got around, and the craftsmen were true artists.

Amusing little link. For the most part, the guy who created it had no idea what he was talking about. Viking meant a raider/pirate. Not all Scandinavians were vikings. It is like calling all Americans "Cowboys."
Blood Eagle: There are no actual contemporary accounts of this practice. And no bodies showing evidence of it have been found.
Berserkers: While many warriors engaged in battle rage, the use of drugs and living in the wild emulating wolves and bears is purely supposition.
The onion soup picture shows morion and bascinet helmets as well as lochaber axes. That places the illustration in 16th-18th century Scotland. The Viking age ended in the 11th century.
Longships with no bathrooms? Until about the 19th century, no ships had toilets.
Thrusting spikes on their shields? Show one. Spiked shields are sometimes found on Scottish targes several centuries after the Viking age.
Erik the Red was born in Norway. As a child, he moved to Iceland with his father Thorvald who was the one exiled. Erik left Iceland because of a killing--he was outlawed for only three years.And Erik was the founder of the Norse settlements in Greenland.
The comments on the mental effect of blood, and the hopes of finding monsters to fight in America are, at best groundless speculation.
BTW, based on skeletal remains, the height range for Norsemen was 5'7" to 5'11"
And "Skraelings" usually translated to mean "wretches" was used in the same way the Greeks called non Greeks "barbarians."
Teeth filing: Those are real Norseman teeth in the photo, but were they filed into points?
He missed the really cool things such as:
The Norse trade routes created Russia and brought Arab silver and Chinese silk to northern Europe. Iceland was the first European democracy. They navigated across thousands of miles of open ocean and discovered the Americas 500 years before Columbus.
And the most common artifacts found buried with Norse remains? Combs and grooming tools.

Seems to me the Turkeys were trying to decide a couple of things about the cat: What happened to it? And is it really dead?
Can almost gear one turkey saying:
"As Coroner I must aver,
I thoroughly examined her.
And she's not only merely dead,
she's really most sincerely dead."
Crows also react to dead critters
Caitlin Doughty of Ask A Mortician just posted something about crows doing something similar.

I worked in food service all through high school, college and beyond. And the only food-safe insecticides we could use were ones made with pyrethrins, an organic chemical compound originally derived from chrysanthemum flowers.

"Captain America stands for the 'kinds of things I strive for: equal justice, fair play and democracy.'" Good luck with that under the new regime

Anakin. I suspect has some mother issues stemming from her incessant addressing him as "Annie." This, no doubt, caused him great embarrassment whenever she called him Annie in front of his friends, who would start singing "Tomorrow" then seguing into "It's the Hard Knock Life." Deep resentment caused by such harassment probably led to his penchant for ruthless suppression of whole planets.

Are there really enough rabid fanboys to justify building a museum of this type?
And if his art is so lowbrow, has he tried Las Vegas?

My wife has never been able to see them. She has MS and her binocular vision doesn't work too well.
I used to see them easily, until I had surgery to repair a detached retina. Now, its all colors and no pattern
