As Bobby Zimmerman said, “the pump don’t work ‘cause the Vandals took the handle.”

What, no mention of “Vandalay Industries”?

[Pharmboy]

What a coinkydink...just last night via Netflix I watched a 90 minute History Channel show (no ads though!) on my 'puter called "The Dark Ages." Mainly about Justinian, Clovis, Martel, Charlemagne, the bubonic plague, the Vikings, monks, etc. The Vandals did get a shout-out though.

Great program...highly reccomended.

[Verginius Rufus]

Stilicho was half-Vandal (his father was a Vandal and his mother a Roman). He was an important figure in the reigns of Theodosius I and Honorius, and might have been able to prevent the Goths' capture of Rome in 410 if Honorius had not had him killed in 408. A very controversial figure.

I believe Andalucia in southern Spain is named for the Vandals, who ruled there before crossing into Africa.

Vadal legacy?

This used to be (IIRC) a hospital in San Fransicko:

More legacy:

More Vandal legacy: Luddites, ELF, ALF....

Now, if they had said legacy of the Vandal Kingdom...

Wenzel said the violence they administered across much of Europe was "no worse than other migrating tribes.”

The real legacy of the Vandals: "Why are you picking on me? Everybody else does it!"
