A: Viking Age jurists Q: what is cheaper by the dozen? NOTE: this is a triple pun since "dozen" is an Old Norse/ Teutonic mathematical concept (they counted in 12s) and "cheap" is from their word meaning market or selling (kaup). They also gave us the original concept of a jury (your 12 closest neighbors and peers, who all should know something about what happened, and nobody could get out of this duty). They weren't paid, even for transportation, which is pretty darned cheap! Carolly
