Wow. You're a braver man than I, sir.
Actually, it's pretty interesting, Mr. Silverback; it's a doctoral thesis by some guy at the University of Minnesota in 1948--although there are a few places where he unkindly omitted to translate obscure medieval Norwegian phrases, perhaps assuming those judging the thesis already knew medieval Norwegian.
One wonders what ever happened to him; surely he is past 80 years old now, and not aware someone is reading him.
By the way, sir, whether you consider this a compliment or not, I find that of all the Free Republicans, you and I tend to see the most eye-to-eye on particular issues, especially moral, religious, and social ones.....odd, considering we are in wholly different parts of the country, and probably have utterly different backgrounds.
