Viking Ship

Ships used by Scandinavian warriors (Vikings) and traders from the 5th to 12th centuries. They were long (up to 150 feet), and looked much like enormous canoes. They were powered by both oar and sail.
These ships allowed the Vikings to travel to places as far as Iran and Cape Cod. If it wasn't for the Longship, the Vikings would not have been able to become a feared prescence in Europe.

Some facts about Viking longships:

Under certain weather conditions, a Viking Ship can outsail a modern racing yacht!

A ship was considered a Viking chief's most prized posession. They were given names like "Steed of the waves" and "Long Serpent".

They were "Clinker Built", with overlapping strakes running from bow to stern. This allowed them to ride on the waves, instead of being crushed by the vicious North Sea waves.

Though they were very fast, Viking Ships stood very little chance in a naval battle (except against other Vikings.

Without the Viking Ship, there would be no Vikings.

fox news

Faux news

The only two major difference between Fox and The Daily Show:

1. The daily show does not claim to be "fair and Balanced" like Fox does.

2. While John Stewart tells the truth with a major Liberal spin on it, people like Bill O'Reily (affectionately known as Mr. Falafel) tell outright lies.

No wonder the station is named after an animal commonly associated with sneakyness.

hammer

The Marxist symbol representing the factory workers, the sickle representing the farmers. Together they represent the uninted Proletariat.

This has now become corrupted by greedy tyrants such as Stalin and mao, to be a symbol of corrupt, totalitarian "Communist" dictatorships.

Karl Rove's burlesque-show whore

Speaks poison to unwitting neoconservatives.

The floozy whose dispicability unites both Liberals and Moderate Conservatives. Thank you Miss Coulter.

Ann Coulter is the ugly face of the neoconservatives.

Paris Hilton: living proof that cash ain't everything.

Example 1. <The President's family is just full of Paris Hiltons.>

Example 2. <The Boston Strangler once murdered someone by stabbing her up the Paris Hilton.>

Waldorf

A branch of private schools commonly found in mainly the US and Germany, and were founded by the Austrian Anthrposophist philosopher Rudolf Steiner.

Although Waldorf Schools are legitimate schools, critics continue to claim that the school is a cult, and that students are indoctrinated with the ideals of Anthroposophy. Though these allegations are probably false, Waldorf Schools do use some methods which may appear outdated or silly.

But overall it's a pretty good school.

Waldorf: the only school that is also the name of a salad.
