    Oh, oh, oh another Viking! At first I thought you were talking about Minnesota (USA), but soon realized how anal I am...but, being from the frozen tundra of the western hemisphere I can relate. Regretably, I have thawed out some so don't think I would be able to compete in the "Polar Bear" contest. Might just have to pack my bags, grab the Bohemian wife, and take a trip to the great state of Norway...

    Hurt that was too funny!

    Since I am from Minnesota, and part Norweigan can I still claim Viking Status?
