Viking exhibit at. The British Nuseum

"Berserk":  a Danish word.  Fighting Norse invaders wore bearskins, filed their teeth into points and colored them.  Going into battle, they dropped the bearskins, charged ahead naked and went into a fighting frenzy terrorizing the assaulted by going berserk.

An ancient Viking saying:  "If you don't have anything sensible to say, shut up."
