You know who I'm talking about.  Yes, you -- Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Franks, Angles, Saxons and Vandals (the Jutes are jerks, I don't want to include them).  You think you are just sooo great because you took over your little fiefdoms after the Fall of the Roman Empire.  Big whoop.  Sure, sure -- you guys eventually traded your paganism for Christianity -- but we all know that was a power grab.  No one actually believes you went to church while pillaging and burning.

Fine you guys built some monastaries, wrote manuscripts, built Romanesque cathedrals out of stone -- but what have you done for me lately?
