You'd need 1009 kings to be able to mix kings.

No problem for you lot, but I can't remember how to write 1, 1000, 51, 6 and 500 in Roman numerals. IM LIVID.*

* Yes, it's old, but I can't find any more jokes; got stuck on BB King, and that doesn't work, have a bad case of the blues now.

The music teacher at a local school once wrote a song that involved something about hiking Vikings. No sorry I can't provide any audio file.

True; difficult if you're surrounded by water, you can't travel very far (and for boring facts: :grin: most countries in similar situations used ships for domestic trade and travel).
