Tedhaun Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Today's October 9th, and you know what that means? It's Leif Erikson Day! Hinga Dinga Durgen! Quick info from TimeandDate.com: Leif Erikson Day honors a viking explorer known as Leif Erikson. He is believed to be the first recorded Nordic person to have visited North America. It is believed that he visited places such as Baffin Island and Labrador around 1000 CE. Here's a relevant clip from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode Bubble Buddy, where most people have heard of Leif Erikson Day in the first place. It's not a made up holiday contrary to what the narrator said from the start of that very episode, but it isn't a federal holiday either sadly.

trickkey Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Happy Leif Erikson Day to you, too! Hinga Dinga Durgan! Don't judge me, but "Hinga Dinga Durgan" was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the title of this topic. Heh... ^^;; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
