Read an article about how vikings might have gotten suckered with cheap knock offs of "name brand" swords in the past

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/dec/27/archaeology-vikings-sword

So did a google search and found this vid of a museum replica viking sword. nothing crazy, but i just thought about if this guy was cutting into people and not things - ouch

I think I am going to start posting ridiculous pictures of hellhammer in every viking related thread.


It's only because it's to hard for me to find enough youtube videos of some one smashing shit with a war hammer.

So who made the rule that to be metal you had to make ball cupping motions with your hands anyways?

I only know where the horns came from (Dio).  Here is a comprehensive guide on what to do with your hands while listening to metal.  (besides beat your gf/wife)

You can tell that whoever wrote that article is clueless hipster swine though; Emperor makes cabs not amps.

I should make a video next time we do cutting in my martial arts class. It's fun stuff.
