Did the Vikings make it to the Great Lakes?

[raccoon]

My guess is that they did.

Artifacts such as a Viking sword, axe and shield found in Ontario and southwestern Minnesota suggest that the Vikings and Norsemen may have reached the North American continent as far inland as Minnesota via the Hudson By. (sic)

4. Not a hard accent to pick up

I am not even Norwegian, and I find that when I am really kind of nervous, the accent comes out really strongly.

5. They made it to Pittsburg, where they wanted to be called the Pittsburg Vikings,

only to find Minnesota already had a team by that name so they went to Oakland to become the Raiders where they now suck.

Everything I say is true.
Everything I say is a lie.
