    ^^ Not only Europe. Vikings travelled to USA, Africa and Asia as well. Actually, the last findings that may have us to re-write history was found in New Zealand. That either means some vikings travelled all across the globe, or they actually travelled north and passed the north-pole. Either way, it's a amazing feat.

    Incredible. If they went to new Zealand I guess it possible they traveled to Australia to at some point. I had no idea they travelled so far but they are well known for their ships etc.

    Just finished this one. Interesting debut by a swedish author, who writes about his special relationship and fascination of eels. Something that he and his father shares. The book is filled with short stories from the authors childhood as well as facts and the history of the eel, as we know it. Because we dont know much about it really. It's probably the most mysterious fish alive, and it's about to go extinct if we don't understand and learn more about it.

    They are fascinating. I watched a TV show where they were at a eel festival, I think it was in Italy. Eels are protected in a few states in Australia.

    Al sings for the industrial metal band, Ministry. Google them, I'm sure you've heard their stuff.

    I just finished his book and started on Terry Funk's autobiography, More Than Just Hardcore

    Yeah, I have heard of Ministry. Songs are good for workouts. I have not read the Terry Funk books. I would be interested to know what they are like. I should be able to get them to listen to.

    Read a couple of biographies over the last couple of weeks. First one about the inner circle of Saddam Hussein, then one about MAO.
