The greatest Viking name ever, bar none

Stuff I like

Came across this while researching the first volumes of the new History Dudes series I've started working on for DK in Britain, for a book called Viking Dudes:

Ivar the Boneless.

Wow. That must have been really awkward at parties.

Hi, I'm Ulric the Fierce, and these are my friends Harald the Strong, Gunther the Powerful, and Olaf the Testosterone-Laden. Listen, Gunther has a thing for Inga the Large-Chested over there, but she brought four classmates from the village of Hornidottir. So we need one more wingman. Are you in? And what's your name?

. . . um. . . it's Ivar. Just. . . call me Ivar.
