All that model lacks is four vikings, then it would represent the Norsemen of the Acropolis!

I tried it out on my wife and got a (slight) laugh. She's a very kind person.

I tried it out on my daughter (14) and didn't even get a ::) after I had explained
Vikings=Norsemen and
Acropolis=Parthenon etc. and
Apocalypse= end of times and
Four Horsemen = Death, Famine, Pestilence and War.

Just give it another kick, its not quite dead yet.  :(

What are they teaching the young these days if not sufficient historical knowledge to enjoy complex puns?  :doh:

I decided to observe the Forum Rules, so I deleted part of my 17 November post and your response to it Macruran. Though it was a fair point you made. And very small writing doesn't make us immune to The Powers That Be! I have sent you a PM.

Four Horsemen

In Belgium we now started calling them the 4 Health-ministers. One for Flanders, one for Wallonia, one for Brussels and a Federal one.
