The Helmet debate to end all helmet debates

Do you believe that vikings had horns in their helmets?

 

[tyred]

Not really. I believe they were drinks containers which were shaped like horns for aerodynamic reasons.

Of course they didn't, the horns were on their heads and came through holes in their helmets.

How did they put the helmets on?

How did they put the helmets on?

Carefully...

 

[snorri]

How did they put the helmets on?

The helmets are hinged, with wee clips at each side, just above the ears, everyone knows that.
Well, almost everyone.

Nonsense!!

No they didn't have horns so that they couldn't accidentally poke each other in the eyes before they had even arrived!

A whole load of blind berserkers wouldn't have been too great for your cause, now would it??

That was just made up later, like cavemen fighting dinosaurs.

Nonsense - the camera don't lie. Explain your way out of this!

 

[threebikesmcginty]

That's not a dinosaur, that's a really big tortoise!

It's a tortoisosaurus

And what would be the ISO rating of a stone film?

 

[wafflycat]

The movies do not lie! See, there's even a documentary about it!

Of course they had horns on their helmets, my infant school teacher had us all drawing them and she was aways right.

You guys should look up the Sagas. Theres some cool s*** in there! I think my family has Finish and Norway decent. Lots of our family came from the far north of England, and theres definately Saxon heritage on the otherside. One family name is Viking descent and the other sides is Saxon descent.

Pah. Medieval Scandinavian history was ever the weak spot in the British educational system. And my infant school teacher said we'd all be driving hovercars by the time I grew up.

Perhaps you haven't grown up yet?

People must think I have Viking ancestry,



They say I've got a face like an 'orse.
