Vinland Saga Omnibus, Vol. 2



Thorkill, Thors, and Thorfinn.

How many people had names based on Thor?

Do you think “Thor” was like the “Gunner” of the day, and it eventually became an old man name? Or did the relatively short lifespan of vikings probably make those sort of name trends a little less obvious?

You know what’s hilarious? All this stuff around the internet of living like ancient peoples because our modern society is full of toxins and whatever.

Do people not have the ability to google the typical viking lifespan? Because it was like 40 years. The average human lifespan today is in the 70s.

“People were so much healthier. You didn’t see the vikings using walkers.” I mean, yeah, because the chances of a viking living to age 60 was almost nil.
