Thought you might get a kick out of this. The writer Jerry Pournelle had this on his web site the other day:

My wife is mostly Irish. My family is Norman, which is to say Frenchified Vikings. I have an academic lecture on the family that usually begins by pointing out that my Viking ancestors used to raid Ireland for loot and slave girls. We then found, without quite knowing how, that we wanted to keep the girls happy, and the only way to do that was to marry them, and that required giving up Thor and Odin for the White Christ, and not putting out milk for the wood elves, and then some celibate priest was telling us when we could sleep with them. And then there are people who say women are not the dominant civilizing factor in this universe.
