But thanks for the vote of confidence. ;) Nils: I forget about a fair share of things that I plan on posting, so perhaps I could just be a Norse jarl, rather than a king.

I often look up stuff like this, but forget to post about it. You didn't and that makes you the Viking king! Good post. That *is* pretty cool.

Regarding the WP theme - indeed, very sly of me. ;) I was quite tired of Tarski, and am also going to roll it out of use on my language blog soon. Joe: Thanks for the clarification on that. I found a video of the causeway being covered by the incoming tide, which I thought was cool to see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rrxDZoLxuc Tom: I just checked 3 of my Viking books, and it’s definitely 793AD.

Holy Island is not covered at high tide (it has a permenant population of 160ish), just the road connecting it to the mainland is.

Anyway, very cool. Isn't there a town on that island? At high tide it looks like the town disappeared underwater. Or is that only cloud cover? I like how you slipped in the new WP theme. Real sly like. I thought it was 795….
