You Norwegians aren't all that bad. I'm Finnish by extraction, and we
moved in between You, the Swedes and the Russians. And then half of us
up and moved to Northern Ontario and Michigan, because it looks like
Finland.
Now that's crazy.

Here is a Wikipedia article about him

The guy who sailed from Iceland to Newfoundland was a nutter Norwegian too
(can't remember his name). This proves nothing except that most Norwegians
are crazy. (Jostein might be an exception).
My back is killing me tonight. I might remember his name tomorrow. (But who
cares? I don't)
Never the less, this post is slightly off topic.

Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian)
Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds

That's the guy. Complete nutter, but interesting.

There was a fellow who proved in the 1970's that it was possible, by
sailing from Iceland to Newfoundland in a Longship. Same guy sailed
across much of the pacific on a raft a few years later.
Of course, the earth was notably warmer when Erik the Red sailed to
Newfoundland than it is today.
