I have no idea - I don't think my friend has any more Viking blood in him
than an average Chinese person, but he just looks the way Vikings are
supposed to have looked. Which they probably didn't.

Anyways, he's nice to have around when there's a fight about to happen, as
he usually calms the situation down by just standing up :-)    And he's the
kindest guy there is, I don't I've ever seen him get angry at anything or anyone.
