A sword is probably the last thing you'd expect to find on a hike -- especially one that's more than a millennium old.
But that's what happened to a man in Norway who recently stumbled across a 1,200-year-old Viking sword while walking an ancient route.
The find, which dates from approximately 750 A.D. and is in exceptionally good condition, was announced by Hordaland County Council.
County Conservator Per Morten Ekerhovd described the discovery as "quite extraordinary."
What will future hikers think of our civilization when they stumble across our CueCats lying, discarded, under rocks?

I did something similar. I had 2-3 of the things and wrote code thinking I'd make an accurate catalog of my books. Typical me, once I got the code working I never got around to scanning more than 10% of my books.
Why shouldn't we judge a book by it's cover? It's got the author, title, and a summary of what the book's about.
