The Great Norns are the three giantesses who, according to Norse legend, weave our fates. Their names are Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld, but that's just in Norse mythology. They go by enough aliases to be international spies.

I'll not disagree.

Our true purpose and fates are all well beyond our Ape-Brains.

Every Religion is a simple attempt to explain the Alpha-Omega is a way that we can - mebe - comprehend.

The explanations are not important. What is important is the RESULTS.

Anything that brings comfort to Humanity, and guides us all to Justice and Charity, is worthwhile.

I'm pretty sure the Romans had a decent calendar.

The Gregorian Calendar is the most widely used calendar in the world today. It is the calendar used in the international standard for Representation of dates and times:

It is a solar calendar based on a 365-day common year divided into 12 months of irregular lengths. 11 of the months have either 30 or 31 days, while the second month, February, has only 28 days during the common year. However, nearly every four years is a leap year, when one extra – or intercalary – day, is added on 29 February, making the leap year in the Gregorian calendar 366 days long.

The days of the year in the Gregorian calendar are divided into 7-day weeks, and the weeks are numbered 1 to 52 or 53. The international standard is to start the week on Monday. However, several countries, including the US and Canada, count Sunday as the first day of the week.

Replaced Julian Calendar
The Gregorian calendar's predecessor, the Julian Calendar, was replaced because it was too inaccurate. It did not properly reflect the actual time it takes the Earth to orbit once around the Sun, known as a tropical year.

Realigned With the Sun
The Julian calendar's formula to calculate leap years produced a leap year every four years. This is too often, and eventually, the Julian calendar was several days out of sync with the fixed dates for astronomical events like equinoxes and solstices.

The introduction of the Gregorian calendar allowed for the realignment with events like the vernal equinox and winter solstice.


New Leap Year Formula
The Gregorian calendar was first adopted in Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain in 1582, and included the following changes:

• New formula for calculating leap years:
  1. The year is evenly divisible by 4;
  2. If the year can be evenly divided by 100, it is NOT a leap year, unless;
  3. The year is also evenly divisible by 400: Then it is a leap year.
• 10 days were dropped in October 1582
• New rules for calculating Easter dates

You do know all these dates are made up dates? There was no calendar back then. And as far as fate goes, the fate is/was created and handled by the three Norns.

There have been Calendars since before Stonehenge.

The date of Christmas is largely invented, but Easter is tied to Passover, which the Jewish People have tracked accurately for thousands of years.

Do not underestimate your ancestors.

Mass. Pressed For Rationale For COVID-19 Gun Shop Ban
The state has argued that the temporary nature of the ban and the other avenues to buy guns and ammo mean the plaintiffs' constitutional rights aren't heavily burdened. But the citizens and stores have argued that person-to-person private transactions are no replacement for gun stores, which offer the type of advice that's important to first-time buyers as well as warranties for the products.

Kobick repeated throughout the hearing that the closures should be upheld and are narrowly tailored because they are set to end May 18.

Judge Woodlock pushed back on the "temporary" justification, saying it fails to capture the situation where deadlines have already been extended twice.

"'Temporary and sustained' is what I'd say at this stage, and so there's been a good deal of time with no formal justification, and sustained, not only temporary, impingement of Second Amendment rights," the judge said.

The availability of ammunition is a major issue as well, according to Judge Woodlock, who explained, "If you're shooting blanks, you don't have Second Amendment rights."

Mass. Pressed For Rationale For COVID-19 Gun Shop Ban - Law360

A Massachusetts federal judge on Monday laid into attorneys for Gov. Charlie Baker for offering "concerted silence" about why the state closed gun stores during the COVID-19 outbreak while allowing liquor stores and other retailers without constitutional underpinnings to remain open.

This isn't a commentary on you, but I hate how pop culture the "Viking" culture has become. Every blonde haired 20-30 something nitwit has cut his hair to try to look like "Ragnar" whose character is only very loosely based on a murky historical figure.


Maybe someday you'll go the way of Guthrum and convert!


Unless your Scandinavian heritage is not Danish. Then my apologies for the assumption.

SHOCKED Bridgegate was a 9-0.

This was more of a joke posting than anything. International Viking day was just started in 2012. A buddy of work told me about and I thought it was funny.

Guthrum converted to save his own skin. He was a traitor to his gods. That though, is another story.

As for my heritage... I am a proud Dane. Nearly all of my people come from the Danish blood lines (on my father's side).

This new Vikings thing, I think it is one of the most comical fads I have ever seen. So many think they are going to battle each and everyday in the halls of Valholl eating endlessly from the boar Saehrimnir.

That's cool to know a clear family heritage. My adopted father knows his family records back to a specific knight in the 13th century in England, whose family later came over on the actual Mayflower. He is actually distantly related to the Bush Family.

I grew up with some kids that were of Swedish Vikings heritage. The last name was 100% Scandinavian. I remember they could trace their family tree pretty well. Man, did they look the part. Tall, blonde, and people thought they looked a little slow.

They were very smart kids. Just quiet. Sort of poet types. I think they had good hearts.

One of them was like 6'6". Here I am, this aggresive "little" 5" 11' kid, with a lot of testosterone just running right through him or over him in football. They just expected him to be able to stop me because of the size disparity.


I am for sure part Lebape (Delaware Indian). My biological father is very dark. New York is actually my home. You white squatters need to get off my land.

The white man part of me is murky, but I know for sure Polish and Saxon/Gernanic people. I got jipped, because there were a lot of 6'5" + on both sides of biological family.

Just to mess with the government I at times put "other" or native/mixed on those stupid questions.


We will all drink blood wine with Kahless in Stovocor.

Here's a look at gun shops defying close door orders.

Gun shops flouted state closure orders in April as industry notched another big month

Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, and Washington all closed dealers because of the coronavirus. Firearms still flew off shelves.
