Heh. Am finally changing my tagline in honor of this:
We love the apocalypse as long as nobody acknowledges the truth: It's not a mythical event. We live on top of one.

I read that one - unfortunately the pictures of horned helmets next to every time the word "Vikings" came up did not fill me with confidence in this article's historical accuracy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Vikings didn't wear horned helmets? How do you explain the Minnesota Vikings and Hagar the Horrible?

Ceremonial use of horned helmets during the Germanic Iron Age persisted until the 7th century and can thus be argued to may have overlapped with the early Viking Age. However, there is no evidence that horned helmets were ever worn in battle at any point during the Viking Age.
Nevertheless, popular culture came to associate horned helmets strongly with Viking warriors. The popular association probably arose in 19th century Swedish Romanticism, possibly by misattribution of Bronze Age images such as the Grevensvænge figurines. A 20th-century example of this association is the Minnesota Vikings football team, which as its logo carries a horn on each side of the helmet.

Yeah.
It's been well-documented in thousands of newspapers across the country that even Hagar's dog wears a horned helmet....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
and Kristen is all slouchy and sullen and metaphysically bird-flipping.
That dress is fussy, and not in a good way, but it looked fine walking down the runway, all properly lit and like. I have to agree with ita, what's with the slouching and the caved in shoulders, Stewart? Didn't anyone teach you how to stand properly? I'm tired of her pouting all the time like "oh this fame is such a painful chore!"
