Your classmate Abby let me know that there's an episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy that features Viking warriors and their Norse "heaven" -- Valhalla!  Here's a link!  It's pretty amusing, and you can see a lot of the features we talked about in class... Valkyries (although "real" Valkyries did a lot more than stand around looking pretty), Odin and other Norse gods, the cycle of fighting and feasting...  Thanks, Abby!

Also, here's a skjaldmaer (shield-maiden) in action: Eowyn vs. the Witchking of Angmar in The Lord of the Rings.
