On the subject of Viking Halbards:
I seem to dimly recall a magical halberd belonging to Njall (in Njall's
saga). I believe it sounded a clear bell-like tone whenever its bearer
was in danger.
I also dimly remember an ancient bit of silliness, composed to the
tune of the old AT&T "Reach out and Touch Someone" inspired by Njall's
ringing halbard. Can any of those versed in irreverant song fill in
the lyrics?
