Thank you patgund - this is great!

World Cringes in Fear of Danish Response

"Listen," says Chair of Danish Studies at Harvard, Sven Huntleigh, "Last time anyone provoked the Danes, the whole lot of them picked up axes, dressed up in bearskins, antlers and horns, then went marching across Europe looting and burning. In short - everybody knows you don't mess with the Danes. They're freakin' crazy!"

ROFL!!

(Though in the interests of Truth In Reporting, I'm fairly certain that the waraxe in the photo is NOT Israeli-made. Details of the weldlines where the blade meets the haft indicate that it's the cheap knockoff version made by Windlass Steelcrafts in India.)

Love it. As long as they remember: FIRST you pillage, THEN you burn!

You know, joining the marines would have had a lot more appeal to me if they had issued Viking war axes instead of those sabers of theirs. (Though, I believe axes weren't a whole lot more prevalent in Viking armies than any other, it's the Franks who are known for using axes.) Fun link.

Meanwhile in Northern Europe, Danish Prime Minister Mr. Blood-Axe has issued an edict forbidding males between 18 and 45 to shave and has instructed all army officers to "plat their beards, a bit like Gilmli [sic] at Helms Deep - which was so wicked".

First, awesome sentiment :)

Second, wasn't the dwarf's name Gimli? :P

Great read!

ROFL!

Not to forget that immortal musical line,
"There Ain't Nuthin' Like A Dane!"
From the immortal musical, "North Atlantic."
