For some reason, yes I did know that the word cake comes from Old Norse. I think I found that out (thanks to wikipedia) when John and I were having a discussion about what words (apart from smorgasbord and gravlax)we use that are Scandinavian that we use in their "native" state...

I have another fascinating fact - the North of England - or at least the part that corresponds to the old Danelaw - has a higher proportion of A group blood, which is the most common group in Norway and Sweden...

(me, I'm O neg, so no Viking invaders in my history, or at least none that passed their genes on!)

I'm O neg too. No hairy Viking ansestors for me either.
