Re: Can you identify this photo?
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.Bootstrap wrote:OJ, what kind of cows did you say they should have been?

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 ;->Hats Off wrote:Schleswig-Holstein, a few kilometres south of the Danish border and about 90 kilometres north of Hamburg.

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).Bootstrap wrote:These are photos from the Haithabu Viking Museum in Schleswig-Holstein.

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.ohio jones wrote:Indeed.

Re: Can you identify this photo?
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.

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
