I think I may have saw the same program on PBS or the History Channel a couple of years ago. I really want to read more up on that condition. But it is amazing that they found something that makes much of what goes on in the saga explainable. I seem to recall that one of the problems with that condition was intense headaches, and that would explain Egil's rages.

Far heil!
