@Concrete: I'm not an ancient Viking, no, but Vikings survive to the modern day in their descendants. I do in fact fall under Viking in the meaning of the word "Viking" not just because I am a descendant of them. The word "Viking" is from the old Norse word "Vikingr" which means "River Dweller" vik meaning "Creek" or "River" and the remainder relating to where they dwell, along the water.
I live on both a river and a lake Concrete(One on either side actually), so that alone makes technically a Viking just based upon the meaning of the word. I take pride in my heritage and am a modern Viking, I hunt and fish, I have a beard and axes but that doesn't matter. What makes me a Viking is my ancestry and where I live, and I want the tradition of people being Vikings to survive beyond the genetic level.
@Peterson: I don't care that your a Brony, I have several friends who are, I'm not going to treat you differently just because you like a certain cartoon. As long as you don't watch MLP porn we're all good.
