"'I like being a Viking,' says Jorn Olesen of Arhus, Denmark. His arm is tattooed with the dragon slayer Sigurd; Thor's hammer hangs on his chest. He belongs to a Viking fighting club that puts on a show every year near town. They fight like heroes—in small bands. 'Vikings didn't have manners in war,' says Olesen. 'They screamed, didn't stay in a straight line, and carried big axes.'"
