Assuming viking is right (and I see no reason to doubt him), I wonder where the dailymail came up with this story.

It's the Daily Mail, The Razgovory of English Newspapers.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Isnt Norse myth cyclical?

nope, linear, there was a creation and then history happened

And Ragnarok will destroy everything and then there will be another creation. Sounds pretty cyclical to me.

It's not a new creation. It's a new generation ruling Asgard.

Like the 1980s Transformers cartoon movie.

It's the choice of a new generation.

So why is there a Viking Cultural Center there?

Elaborate.
I was sleepy. I guess it makes sense, but you'd figure the best Viking museums would be in Oslo, Copenhagen or Aarhus or someplace.

Who said it was the best Viking museum? :unsure:

Same reason there's Roman stuff in Bath? :mellow:

The really puzzling one is the Egyptian and Mummies Museum in Dorchester :P

Jorvik's actually a bit like an educational themepark rather than anything serious. I doubt it'd satisfy garb:

I went when I was about 10-11 on a school trip to York. It was amazing :lol:

See what I must deal with here?  Unprovoked attacks. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
