Did you know Rudolph the Reindeer (and all reindeer in general) has no upper teeth?

Join us for beautiful pics of auroras, reindeer teeth trivia, and grousings about grocery prices! Whether you’re a born Norwegian, immigrant, tourist, or just think reindeer are cute, this is the place to be.

Due to the small size of Lemmy, and the even smaller size of the Norwegian part of Lemmy, contributors are encouraged to stick to English where possible.

  1. Common sense. Civility, etc.

We're whalers on the moon,

We carry a harpoon,

For they ain't no whales

So we tell tall tales

And sing our whaling tune.

Damnit, another "viking helmet" with fucking horns. I say put horns on people holding the cross or bible.

TIL! Though apparently we have our Swedish cousins to blame for the myth: https://www.history.com/articles/did-vikings-really-wear-horned-helmets
