Not to milk this too much, and don't kiel over in shock, but I will dane to repeat myself: Holsteins would have been a fitting breed for that photo. Now excuse me while I put a Hamburger on the grill.

Schleswig-Holstein, a few kilometres south of the Danish border and about 90 kilometres north of Hamburg. Kiel is the capital of Schleswig-Holstein, a German state and was under Danish control for a period.

These are photos from the Haithabu Viking Museum in Schleswig-Holstein. And yes, that's close to Denmark, a country Viking fans, Beowulf fans, and Shakespeare fans will recognize ;->

So Haithabu, does your username have anything to do with Vikings? Or cows? Or Germans? Or Danes?

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

Indeed. The Vikings are from Minnesota, which is close to Wisconsin, which makes lots of cheese, most of which comes from the milk of Holstein cows (90% of the dairy cattle in Wisconsin are Holsteins).

It's a small, small world.

And here I spent all my life thinking Vikings were from Scandinavia. You know, it was worth the entire MennoNet admission fee just to learn this. Thanks, OJ. :hug:

Funny you should mention Beowulf. :) Way back in the late 90's I wanted to choose Beowulf for my hotmail account, but it was taken and so I was presented with the option of taking Beowulf37. Rather than that, I chose Haithabu, which no one else seemed to want. (Tip to doxxers: it has been my username on just about every forum I have frequented ever since. :))

I never thought to identify as a flesh eating monster. :) But your bringing up the subject has nudged me into getting J.R.R. Tolkien's translation and commentary for Kindle
