Oh , I get it now…the Vikings didn’t convert to solar, wind, and evs quickly enough…

[Dr. Franklin]

greenland wasn’t a favorable climate for an nfl team...

Right, so they moved to Minnesota, and somehow Scandinavians still don't find it offensive that football team has been named after them. In fact, most are quite proud of that.

Saw an episode where a fella tried it (can’t remember if it was Zimmerman or not now, but i think it wss another fella), and it was one episode where I felt queasy just watching it. I usually have a strongest stomach, but for some reason I could almost smell the rotten-ness of the shark - maybe I wasn’t feeling good or something, but it got to me that show.

[bobbo666]

So, now we are denying that they went to Newfoundland?

I blame the players’ union.

[T]he consensus has tended to see one [factor] as critical – an enduring drop in temperatures referred to as the Little Ice Age.

That's a shame; with a vocal contingent of climate-change deniers back in the day, the Vikings might still be in Iceland.

[Ahithophel]

and uh, you know Greenland too.

[SunkenCiv]

For one thing Tarkenton lost all three of those Super Bowls.

[jimmygrace]

hmm... Greenland..Normandy..Greenland..Normandy... Such a tough choice!

[rdl6989]

This thread absolutely cries out for a Fran Tarkenton joke.

[sima_yi]

...an enduring drop in temperatures referred to as the Little Ice Age.

But...But...But..Professor Michael Mann has written a computer program which proves that the so-called Little Ice Age never happened.

[SunkenCiv]

Good thing I’ve got the OS update installed on my time machine... ;^)

Greenland, Normandy and Sicily. Don’t forget Sicily.

[AndyJackson]

Of course the one’s who landed in Sicily thought they had died and gone to heaven and were never heard from again.

I did a documentary on this 20 years ago. The little ice age caused the folks in Greenland to move south to American continent. When the King of Norway couldn't get the stuff from Greenland, he sent the Vikings to find them. The ended up in Kingston Minnesota, and left behind a runestone describing the date and what happened. I posted the documentary on Youtube with Maxtanic films called 1362 The Kensington Enigma

Nonsense. There was a good looking woman behind every tree.

“The ended up in Kingston Minnesota, and left behind a runestone describing the date and what happened. I posted the documentary on Youtube with Maxtanic films called 1362 The Kensington Enigma”

How ironic, with present day Minnesota being heavily Scandinavian. With its NFL team named The Vikings.

UMAss is a cesspool of political crap. That’s true.

But their science folks are very good. In the pure science fields, they are worth a listen.
