danish kings have the funniest names

Jul 27, 2010 01:52

I've been pretty much falling asleep here for the past hour, but before I actually do, there's something I want to share with you guys. So today I got this book called A HISTORY OF THE KINGDOM OF DENMARK from a used book sale (seriously guys, I'll buy anything as long as it has pages, someone stop me before I buy ALL THE BOOKS). I don't know why ( Read more... )

XD I believe my great-great-grandfather's name was Valdemar. Yeah, Scandinavian names are kind of fun.

XDD Ah, BUT. How victorious was he?

It depends upon the field, I suppose! He was a bit of a loser in the jet-ski arena, due to jet skis not having been invented yet.

Damn! That's a shame. He never even got the chance! D:

I'd rather be Gorm the Old than Ethelred the Unready, who was the third English king. XD Maybe not so much his subjects as his sons?

OH MY GOD. That usually only happens when I have no money. My mom is a librarian, and besides that owns like no books, so I feel like we're probably not biologically related.

I lost it at that one. Seriously, now I know where the headset comes from. Design from Trek, name from some old Danish king!

And Oluf Hunger. Seriously, was he skinny?
