The Vikings wandered into Greenland, try to do what they always did, and are sad when things don't work out. Eh? Their descendants are still 12% of the population. Did you mean Vinland? (Counting Viking descendants is silly - my mother turns out to be ~40% Scandinavian, despite being mostly from Waterford, Ireland. Of course that's a corruption of Water-fjord. Viking descendants are pretty much anywhere within range of the North Sea or even Mediterranean.) Thanks, -- Simon St.Laurent http://simonstl.com/
