My drive home from Philadelphia today was not bad. It's a long one, but I was listening to an interesting presentation on the Vikings by The Teaching Company. Pretty interesting stuff. I kind of thought they were just sort of primative barbarians who pillaged for a few hundred years and then started making Volvos. The real story is a bit more complex and interesting. I didn't finish the whole course on the drive, but my curiosity is piqued.
An interesting tidbit - men who died in battle and women who died in childbirth were thought to be treated as heros in the afterlife. If you died a peaceful death in old age, you were condemned to a less than pleasant afterlife.
