Interesting.

I wonder if they realized that a hot stone would dry out their clothing faster?

If they've discovered that Vikings invented ironing, then it can't be long before they announce that they've discovered the origins of the famous "berserker rage...."


..... too much starch in the underwear.

Oh, I thought this was a story about the Minnesota Vikings last few seasons. My mistake.

"The ones that have been discovered have been in female burial sites, which suggests women did most of the ironing.

No, it's evidence that they did ALL of the ironing.

Cripes, every Viking man know that if you're forced to do the ironing, you start with your wife's blouse. You burn it to a crisp, and presto!, she wants to do it all from now on.

Hmmm. I guess this also explains the skirts they wore. I guess it gets lonely out in those dragon boats.

It also explains the 'gays belong in the army' claim. I'll bet they opened hair salons and nick-nack shops after they did the ironing.

An excavation in Orkney uncovered a 950AD Viking whalebone ironing board. . . .

This was the beginning of the Ironing Age.
