<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsden, post: 24488279, member: 38010&quot;]When I was in grad school, I took some classics courses just for fun (it wasn&#039;t exactly my field).&nbsp; One day I&#039;m having a chat with my esteemed professor and I used &quot;Vandals&quot; as an example of a particularly violent and rapacious breed.&nbsp; (After all we still use the word today as a sort of shorthand.)</p><p><br /></p><p>He took extreme exception to that characterization and I said no more as I knew approximately nothing.&nbsp; Though if I&#039;d thought better at the time I would have remembered the &quot;Attila the Hun&quot; show from <i>Flying Circus</i> which mentioned Visigoths in this connection. We take our education wherever we can!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now what&#039;s the point of this long story?&nbsp; To ask my colleagues here what would be the best example, aside from the Huns themselves?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
