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.

liar.

liar.

Yeah.

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

I stand corrected and will email the Teaching Company immediately.

high-fives the ignorant masses who appreciate cool hats!

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!"

she could be working at wal-mart.

Your anger-driven invective was amusing, mot the fact that you were so pissed. That, I was sorry about.

But you were very creative. I was just being admiring.

ION, I have a lot of cleaning and copyediting to do today. Have done some of one, about to begin on a marathon of the other. Let's see if I can copyedit 121 pages tonight!

Fuck this week. It will be fun, but full. And tricksy.

she could be working at wal-mart.

Where I'm sure she'd pout and slouch in just exactly the same way.

I will note that K-Stew seems to be cute and happier in interviews than just standing there. FTR.
