The news could have been: BERLIN LEVELED, AGAIN!

And maybe storm a capitol when the nazis take over?It's good you are going back to your roots, just don't go so far that you end up with horns on your hat!
No, horns are falsely associated with our northern neighbors/enemies/occupiers/friends. My ancestors (coast from southwest of NL to Denmark) were influenced by them. Same gods, but can't worship those, they've been appropriated by neo nazis. My homeland, at times known as Magna Frisia, or viking graveyard, is where the Franks from the south met with the Vikings from the north.
I come here for posts like this. Thank you.And maybe storm a capitol when the nazis take over?
I occassionally do feel this primal urge to braid my beard... but no, this is all just basic history every kid in NL has to learn before they leave 'base school', from age 6 to 12. From Prehistoric times to about ww2. It's all key to understanding Europe and our place in it.

Notice the northern borders of the romans in your pic and the Rhine and Danube river. One can fill a small library with books on the influence of those geographical features. Many battles took places along those rivers, many now large cities were established then (ok, by romans...).
Add the influence of the Franks and Charles Martel, who supposedly prevented islam conquering west europe, and eventually defeated my tribe when our king died ( www.worldhistory.org/Redbad/ ). Charles Martel is the grandfather of the famous Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and when Charlemagne grandson died, his great-grandsons ended up dividing the empire into the precursors of France, Germany and Italy.
A brief history of the Franks
Measuring the influence of the Frankish people, language and culture on the rest of Europe. The origins of the Franks, the conquest of Gaul, Charlemagne's Empire, the establishing of medieval monarchies and the Western nobility, and the transformation of Frankish language into French, Dutch and...www.eupedia.com
This obviously isn't just european history, it's world history. The Franks, from modern day France, a Germanic tribe possibly of Danish decent, christianized by 'Italians'... without them things would be very very different in the world. Overall, probably not better.
The Holy Roman empire, though by then Rome was legend and ruins.
The horns might not be historical, unless you go way back, but like the republicans today, the Vikings must wear them...And maybe storm a capitol when the nazis take over?

Rome never entirely collapsed. It morphed, with the last vestiges in titles like Kaiser and Tsar, both lasting until just over a century ago.

Tea with salt? American scientist's "outrageous proposal" leaves U.S.-U.K. relations in "hot water," embassy says
The American embassy says the nation's relationship with the U.K. is in "hot water" after a U.S. chemist suggested British tea is missing salt – but elsewhere in the world, that ingredient isn't unusual.
The Brits are very fussy about their tea, don't fuck with a cup!I sprinkle a little salt on top of the coffee when brewing a pot and have for decades. Does tone down any bitterness. Don't remember the last time I drank any tea.
