QuoteSigurd Eysteinsson (aka Sigurd the Mighty, ruled circa 875–892[1]) was the second Viking Earl of Orkney, who succeeded his brother Rognvald Eysteinsson. He was a leader in the Viking conquest of what is now northern Scotland. Bizarrely, he was killed by the severed head of one his enemies, Máel Brigte, who may have been mórmaer of Moray.[1] Sigurd strapped Máel Brigte's head to his saddle as a trophy of conquest, and as he rode, Máel Brigte's teeth grazed against Sigurd's leg. The wound became infected and Sigurd died.[2]

First verified zombie killing?
That's not how it's supposed to work. Then again you're the severed head, it's not so bad.

See, when I heard Nigel's family comes from there, I just knew there'd be some deranged shit going on. I mean, the fuck, who gets killed by the guy they beheaded? It's goofier than Irish mythology, and even bloodier.
The only question I have is, is she descended from the guy who beheaded the dude, or the dude that got some revenge post-mortem?
Which one is the superior Viking?

On a lucky day, ANYBODY can behead a motherfucker. But killing somebody AFTER YOU'RE DEAD?
Easy call, there, Dok.
I posted this tidbit on Oarstroker's Facebook.
He'll probably just say something along the lines that Swedish Vikings were superior.

Given the above story, I find that absurd.
No, he was a Norwegian. It makes perfect sense.
Never trust the Scandinavians that eat lutefisk and think it's PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE TO DO SO. At least the Swedes invented modular furniture and the Danes were too busy ripping across the Atlantic and pissing off the Saxons. The Norwegians had nothing better to do but eat really horrific food and get bit by severed heads AND maybe directly responsible for the Scottish.
It should be noted that 99% of all Scandinavian food is horrible, the Norwegians just account for the extra special horribleness.

I cannot even begin to explain to you how utterly wrong you are about THIS.
I mean, never mind that the best rstaurant in the WORLD (2 years running now IIRC) is a scandihoovian restaurant serving scandihoovian food.
THEY GAVE US SWEDISH MEATBALLS FFS.

True fact: Nobody in Scandinavia actually likes lutefisk.
You're right that you should NEVER trust the Scandinavian that
tells you they eat lutefisk and it's perfectly acceptable to do so (and you should really try a bite).
It's just one of them things to fuck with foreigners, you know? Sparsely populated countries, easy to keep an in-joke to yourselves for centuries.

Don't forget, the Danish also invented modular toys, aka Lego!!

Thread was about Orkney.
Thread is now about meatballs.
Revenge will be mine.
Right, ORKNEY!
randomly clicking the wikipedia teaches me that Orkneyic trolls are in fact named "trow" or "drow".
Fuck.
I will never view the Orkney Islands the same again.

There are, of course, many recipes for Orkadian Meatballs, but they all share a similarity in that you REALLY don't want to know what kinds of meat they're made of.

this means they worship a dark spider queen

So, Dok...
considering which one was the better Viking....
they both died in combat, so i guess they both go to Valhalla, right?
the conversation that goes on up there between and about these two is easy to imagine, and clearly spells out who is the better, IMO.

2d guy died of an infection, goes to the underworld.
Dok,
Didn't write the book, he just enforces it.
Dying of infection doesn't bring you to Valhalla. Only dying during battle.

hm...i bet in every viking tribe there was some smartass that was constantly questioning loopholes and seeing how he could game the system, pissing off all the other ones.

Nah. There wouldn't have been time, what with trying to survive the next fight and all that.
I highly doubt they questioned their gods for some reason. They were very superstitious peoples.

okay okay i got it
here's how we hack the system, and get into Valhalla 100% guaranteed:
With your dying breath, challenge Thor to a fight
then, when he kicks your sorry (deceased) ass, you die AGAIN, but this time it was technically "in battle" and you get to go to meta-Valhalla
