As long as these ancestors of mine didn’t eat flesh...*shudder* I’m still trying to recover from the “news” about my southern neighbors... :o]

What`s the difference between a Viking Fortress and a Viking Fort?

[DuncanWaring]

A Fortress is a female Fort.

As a huntress is a female hunter.

Norway, Sweden, Denmark how the Vikings of old made the world tremble! They must be rolling in their graves seeing how fall their breed have fallen. Now the are not, but fodder for camel and goat molesters!

“What`s the difference between a Viking Fortress and a Viking Fort?”

The difference is the “ress of the story.”

Sweden has announced the influx of migrants is “the greatest humanitarian effort in Swedish history.”

Good to know. Then they won't mind President Trump sending them all of ours.

We visited Sweden years ago and enjoyed it. Couldn't pay me to go back today.

***A Fortress is a female Fort.***

Reminds me of an old Johny Hart cartoon THE WIZARD OF ID.

The king is going on a trip and turns over the fortress to Sir Rodney.
He tells him that “IF the Huns attack, RAISE THE DRAWBRIDGE! and the fortress will be IMPREGNABLE”

Later the Huns attack and Sir Rodney yells...”DRAW THE RAISEBRIDGE!”

The King later gets a message... “The Rabbit died.”

A fortress has breastworks.

SC, not directed at you personally, but I, and speaking only for myself, am damn tired of seeing these constant "Archaeologists uncover Secret"...blah blah blah.
No, they are not friggin' 'secrets'. They are shit that has been buried and for so many years that society has for gotten about them.
Thus, they are not really all that important.
Pardon the rant - I admire your work on this stuff.
But, as I continually remind all - There is a lot of really neat stuff buried under the ground....everywhere.

History - evidently the study of stuff that people long dead did a long time ago and thus not very important to you.

Got it.
