Did one of your old kings have annoying communication technology?

I do believe that yes, as the symbol for bluetooth is a rune.

Also, Waffles, as you will see next time you log into facebook, Coyote and I hit on something. It's not who you know. It's who knows YOU. Norwegian reversal!

QuoteThe Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the Younger Futhark runes Runic letter ior.svg (Hagall) (ᚼ) and Runic letter berkanan.svg (Bjarkan) (ᛒ), Harald's initials.

Did anybody notice the king's name? Harald
Bluetooth?
Give a Viking necropance and a cell phone and you've got problems...
GUYS GUYS GUYS
I know this is going to sound insane, but what if the technology is actually named after that guy?
In my excitement that thought did not occur to me...
It is, actually.
The word "Bluetooth" is an anglicized version of the Scandinavian Blåtand/Blåtann, the epithet of the tenth-century king Harald I of Denmark and parts of Norway who united dissonant Danish tribes into a single kingdom. The idea of this name was proposed by Jim Kardach who developed a system that would allow mobile phones to communicate with computers (at the time he was reading Frans Gunnar Bengtsson's historical novel The Long Ships about Vikings and king Harald Bluetooth).[5] The implication is that Bluetooth does the same with communications protocols, uniting them into one universal standard.[6][7][8]
Huh. Nifty
So the eventual aim of Bluetooth is to invade and subjugate England?
I'm OK with this outcome.
