Two unusual apologies were reported today from the descendants of some bad muthahs from long ago.

 

Danish culture minister Brian Mikkelson in Dublin today apologized for the bad behavior of his forebears in the Viking raids on Ireland:

 

"In Denmark we are certainly proud of this ship, but we are not proud of the damages to the people of Ireland that followed in the footsteps of the Vikings."

Also, the descendants of cannibals who killed and ate four Fijian missionaries in 1878 have apologised for their forefathers' actions, the Australian Associated Press reported Thursday.

 

Fiji's High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea, Ratu Isoa Tikoca, accepted the apologies at a reconciliation ceremony attended by thousands of people near Rabaul in East New Britain province on Wednesday.

 

. . . In April 1878, a Fijian minister and three teachers were killed and eaten by Tolai tribespeople on the Gazelle Peninsula.

In the spirit of the day, I'd like to apologize to any Soxtalkers whose ancestors may have been wronged by ancestors in any way.

 

Wow, I do feel better now.

Beautiful stuff for the apologies of the week, a copyrighted feature of Le Show.

Can you apologize for cannibalism? Besides that, there really is cannibalism!!!!!! I thought that was for zombie movies.

 

If someone ate me I would be so pissed.

maybe I should apologize for my ancestors that were Vikings too. Well I'm mostly Scandnavian so I would guess I would have one or two Viking ancestors.

Darn my English, Dutch and German ancestry! The German part has some apologizing to do, and the English and Dutch parts are not quite ready to accept it!

I'm Swedish and I support my ancestors. Should've fought back jerks!!

Apologies to all from an east german decendant.
