Vikings Were Wimps

According to Mikey, the entire population of Greenland Vikings froze to death after the temperature dropped less than 0.2 degrees. And we thought the Vikings were tough.

Good thing that Penn State is concerned about our ethics.

    Too bad for the Vikings that Greenland was not the tropical paradise that it is today. I hear that despite this year’s record heat and drought, the grapefruit crop is going to be a bumper!

    A hui hou kaua!

    If only they had forecasts of the future, like this:

    “Met Office 2012 annual global temperature forecast
    4 January 2012 – 2012 is expected to be around 0.48 °C warmer than the long-term (1961-1990) global average of 14.0 °C, with a predicted likely range of between 0.34 °C and 0.62 °C, according to the Met Office annual global temperature forecast.”

    Could it be the HOTTEST YEAR EVER in this century? Bound to be in the top 12.

      Bound to be! I am so concerned about that! :( I would be really worried if it falls outside the top twelve for this century so far!

      What’s really odd….
      ….normal people would think that’s great because it was cold as s*it from 1960′s to 90′s…………….

    • Met Office 2012 annual global temperature forecast 4 January 2012 is expected to be around 10-15% accurate, with a predicted likely range of between 0% and 15.01%, in line with their previous success rate.

    The Medieval Warming never took place. Some Viking real estate agents got together and spread the word of a tropical paradise, just to sell worthless beachfront property at inflated prices. Oldest trick in the book!

      What I heard was that they crossnamed Iceland and Greenland so that others would not stumble on to their free-hot-water paradise.

  4. The Vikings could teach Mikey a thing or two about hype – they named part of Newfoundland “Vinland” – the land of vines. Canadian grape anyone? The leader of the expedition there was Leif Eirikson, better known as the inventor of the electric car.
