That’s a Jewish guy. He can play a good Roman slave, but not a very convincing Viking.

I prefer the latin “bubulum stercus”
plus the initial letters are the same as in the modern version.

He was pretty good as an able seaman in Disney’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. That was when Disney made good movies.

If Ernest Borgnine & Tont Curtis can play vikings, anyone can audition

I loved him in lots of movies. Never saw him in this one as a Viking, though. He looks a little ridiculous.

I could see Borgnine as a Viking. The Borgnine in From Here to Eternity. Not Tony Curtis. I can’t think of too many guys from that era who fit the bill. They weren’t into Nordic types in Hollywood back then.

A brazen effort to incrementally chip away at the medieval warming period, which period in and of itself provides sufficient variation to destroy Mann’s hockey stick.
Explain away the mwp, because people can’t forget it, and you can justify treating it as noise and not normal variation.
Of course they can’t explain the little ice age either, but they like to include it because it lowers the baseline and skews normal temperatures to look warmer.

My guess is that the Vikings looked at each other and said “Damn it’s F+*&$#@g COLD here! Let’s blow this popstand!”

More crap... without a worldwide warming, the sealevels wouldn’t have risen as they are known to have done, based on contemporary written records, and farmsteads at higher latitudes and altitudes than are feasible today wouldn’t exist. IOW, another piece of agitprop pretending to be scientific.
