Don't be stupid.

Sweden (primary and gymnasium) has 2 months of summer vacation, a few weeks (2-3 or thereabout)of winter vacation, 1 week autumn vacation, another week early spring vacation, and a halfweek-oneandahalfweek of easter vacation, depending on how the holidays hit the schedule.

On the other hand, we need all the sun we can get, lest we suffer from lack of vitamin d and our children be born autistic.

Or to put it in perspective, 9/11 truthers believe that thermite must have brought down the twin towers in part because the planes slamming into them shouldn't have had enough force. So ya, thermite reactions are pretty srs bzns.

No, that was termites. 

I'm sorry but I just had to do it...

Son of a bitch I smell good.

Showers are nice.

I'd rather be a courtly fool than the village one. The lord's only reliable voice and truth-teller, often his only real friend, and allowed to criticize and say whatever I want as long as I do it witty enough, or just make it a riddle.
Though, since all my wit seems to produce is crude sex jokes, I might end up beheaded instead. 

Is that a.. robot?

Technically, a verb. When you were out raiding, you were said to be "In Viking". It worked as well as a rite of passage for all those Scandinavian boys.

Not a verb, a substantive. From the beginning, at least. In contrast to English, '-ing' does not refer to the action but to the subject who does it. As such, it is mostly used as an "occupational" and/or "geographical" (I do not know the proper bending of these words for this occasion) suffix. Thus, vikings were not "in viking", but rather they "gick i vik"/"went (in-)to vik", "went into the bay" would be the literal translation. The verbal form is a derivative, and a "habitualisation".

Nice avatar. Far out, maaan, far out!

It looks like he's trying to clean himself with it.

Now that you mention it... But at least it's better than the slenderman one. Dammit, Slender Man, that is not a pleasure model!

There are also evidence that a trip could have been made from Egypt to South/Middle America. I say could have, because there are hardly any real evidence of such a journey actually having been made (except for the Norwegian, I think, who sailed across the Alantic with old technology to test if it was possible), except for vague theories and the notion that since both places have pyramids, there must be a social connection between them.

The vikings aren't caucasian. They're caucAWESOME.

Viking is an occupation. Anyone, regardless of ethnicity, can be a viking.
Just keeping it politically correct over here.
edit: Not really aimed at you personally, Josephus, just happened to be your post that made me think of it.

addendum:

Speaking of not getting it.  Anyone know some german jokes?

Don't mention the war! I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it!
