Hi all,

 Ian was talking about Viking hygiene - It is my understanding that Vikings were fastidious about cleanliness (bathing several times a week and often washing the hair twice a day), current theory suggests they did this to ward off disease as well as to be clean (although it is also suggested that the water was a major source of disease). Does this mean that the Orlanthi who have Godi/Shamans and Chalana Arroy cultists to ward off disease may in fact be a foul smelling and unwashed bunch of hooligans? :-) (Imperial propoganda of course)
