I heard they also found thousands of empty Spam cans that dated back to the time of the Vikings.

I wondered how Spam got to the Hawaiian islands ... now I know.

The Beatles were the first Vikings to conquer America in the 1960s with their hit Norwegian Wood.

That would be John, Paul, George and Hagar, right?

Someone ought to Photoshop some Viking helmets on these guys.

The industrial age seems to have begun firing up in Liverpool between 1815 and 1835. According to the article, the industrial revolution led to a large import of people into the area, so by “original” one might assume they meant prior to then. Starting in 1766, there was a street directory for Liverpool that listed the names of inhabitants.

If you want something from earlier, may check to see if the area was included in the Domesday Book. I read that London was not.

My personal favorite was the one I consider the quintessential Viking, Harald Hardrada.
