I’m going to try tHAT kind of fish at my next family ruinion. then watch the mayhem.
there’s been a multi generational-long discussion in my family that there is something wrong with us. We have tempers...we have unusual sensitivities to certian foods and certain aerosols. We don’t feel pain. We get strange ailments affecting brain function that are identical to migrain headaches yet the pain is absent. We can endure surgery without pain medication.
we have unusually large skulls and unusually strong backs and unusually voluminous rib cages. The rest of our anatomy is entirely normal or less than normal. We are not athletic in the usual sense although we do outperform others of equal weight in certain tasks.
We have decided that we are mutants and the mutant gene is coming from our red haired genes that were passed on to us from the berserkers...and that the neandertals were the ones that passed it on to the berserkers.
this is pure speculation, of course.
A couple of these family parties, and you can see why many Vikings couldn't wait to clear out to go a-viking, and considered even medieval Irish and English cuisine kinda nifty!
"Jeez, Olaf, ve live here, ney! Dese people EAT GUDE!"
