Happy Leif Ericson day!

Hinga Dinga!

Oh, and a big fuck you to Christopher Columbus. That genocidal Jerkoff only succeed in nearly wiping an entire race off the planet (which the vikings totally wouldn't have done if they were to successfully settle the Americas.)

So, fellow forumites, how do you spend your Leif Ericson day? I know I spend mine reminding everyone of how much of a dickwad Columbus was and that good old Leif was the true European discoverer of 'Murrica.

To put it simply, Dwarf Fortress is the Black Metal of video games.

Leif Ericson is a poser, it's well known that Thor Heyerdahl beat him by a couple seconds.

Dunno, flags don't really conserve that well.

Or we The Mongols were first anyway.

Besides, Eriksson's journey isn't any accomplishment anyway, he just colony-hopped westwards until he reached it.
