This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The flag is christian, I don't think that's the vikings doing

Viking was a job description, not a nationality. Also, it was a Monty Python quote.

The Vikings converted to Christianity shortly after 966, so about 250 years before the tale of the flag.

What? Although it's not the Viking age anymore, we are still Vikings.
