"Keeper of the faith—Jörmundur Ingi, leader of Iceland's pagans, stands in their Reykjavik burial ground. The old religion faded as the Vikings adopted Christianity. But change came slowly. Some became not-so-peaceful missionaries, seeking converts by the sword. Viking times are ancient history, yet something, Jörmundur thinks, lives on. 'Cattle die, kindred die, every man is mortal,' states an Icelandic poem. 'One thing that never dies: the glory of the great deed.'"

—From "In Search of Vikings," May 2000, National Geographic magazine

Jörmundur is one fucking kickass name. And if I can find someone who'll do it cheap I'll tattoo those beautiful words onto my arm (but not in english of course).

Cool picture also, but of course it is National Geographic.

Did National Geographic mention any of our reviews? That's pretty funny, and NG is a great publication. It's one of those mags that you don't dare throw away just because it's packed full of great info and pics.

Side Topic: Did anyone hear that story about the Austrian WWI foot soldiers who were found frozen in ice in the Italian Alps? They were perfectly frozen since 1917 in their infantry gear. That should be in the next NG I would think.

 

[Hell Mike]

yeah I heard about thermn and i'm hung over grbloioaaä'''

 

[NAD]

Never heard about that, but I remember that little girl found in Peru (?) perfectly preserved for like 100 years or something.

I fail to see how that quote or photo has ANYTHING to do with RC.

*cough* JayKeeley's signature *cough*

Actually nevermind, the link was to whatever happens to be their Picture Of the Day. I'll change it in my original post.

EDIT: Nevermind, I had the right quote in my post, just the wrong link. So *cough* JayKeeley's signature *cough* stands true.

Dude, that's reaching for something really ephemeral, and annoyingly geigh. (nt)

 

[NAD]

Did you lose your sense of humour in 'Nam or someting?

 

[Demonspell]

Much like the various nature threads, this one reawakens my desire to leave home and explore what remains of the undisturbed world, which is exactly what browsing through my grandfather's collection of old NG issues made me want to do...

Dude, as the great Kim Mitchell once said:

 

[NAD]

I think back to this photograph often. It defines awesomeness.

 

[NAD]

The link goes to their photo of the day, I'm too lazy to find the article link and it was months ago anyhow.

 

[NAD]

Uhmmmm okay how's this:

The monkeys actually moved to Iceland and devoured the continent, all that remains (besides monkeys) is some random grass and one last human female, currently being choked to death.

 

[lizard]

OMG hot chimp on girl sex!!!

I've read alot about that caveman named Otzi who froze in the glacier. he was one badass dude.
