WCCO has new evidence… new evidence! new evidence!!! (It’s sweeps week — we’re obliged to speak with exclamatory repetitiveness.) The story is about the Kensington Runestone — a slab of rock supposedly found by a farmer in 1898 near Alexandria that set off an international debate about Norwegians living in Minnesota before Columbus. Big surprise, a couple geologists are “unlocking the secrets” of the stone. Apparently, the rune starts “Eight Goths and 22 Norwegians on an exploration journey,” which obviously proves it’s a fake because we’ve already heard the punchline of that Marilyn Manson joke. Anyway, here’s the video of the ‘CCO story.
