Still looking for the DNA connection to Azerbaijan. :)

[SunkenCiv]

[singing] The Azerbaijan have DNA, in Baku.

Try it like this using the "width" statement in your code

Here's the code:

I want to hear they found it in Iceland and Greenland from Scandinavian origin. Jakten på Odin is not yet complete. :)

[Openurmind]

By the way... Thank you for the safe send off the other day. I think it brought me good luck and no one ran over me that trip for a change. :)

The old Baltic warriors probably hit the sauce pretty hard, I'm surprised they didn't name the island Neatland.

[SunkenCiv]

:^) I can't really take credit for it, but, my pleasure.

There was a documentary about the clash between the more modern European sourced peoples and the ancient inhabitants.

It was done from the perspective of a Muslim visitor.

The big reveal was that cavemen rode horses.

[Openurmind]

I really think Thor was onto something. There are liquid freeways from the Caspian area to the Baltic. :)

Just getting to post the same thing!
“You had to be tall to look over the snow drifts!”

Finland got its name because that’s where sharks were first invented.

[Openurmind]

But he only pointed it and never did pull the trigger... :)

[SunkenCiv]

Sharks, eh? ... that must be the land where lawyers originated then... and probably the term "suomi".

[SunkenCiv]

IOW, a crockumentary.

[SunkenCiv]

I wonder if Thor had one of those pegboard panels up behind his workbench...

[Openurmind]

Bet he had one of those newfangled cordless rechargeable hammers.

Thor Heredhal of course... :)
