@bunyip: Nice try. We both know that the Normans were descendants of the Franks, so named because they were probably lead by a guy named Franklin. Franklin was best known for getting into fights at school, mainly with the Goth kids, but occasionally with a group of local Vandals as well. He founded a dynasty of bad boys with cool, tough names, like Pepin the Short and Carol.
My theory is that the Normans were too preppy to hang out with Franks, and decided to run away to a place that they would be popular. And nobody trying to look cool would ever be caught dead in a Scandinavian car. Is it possible that you are confusing the Normans with the group of Vikings from Norway that also happened to invade England in 1066 in a succession dispute? Or are you deliberately supplying us with false information for some more sinister purpose?
@chessspy1 : I did not know that. Neat!
