Oh my god you guys. I think I've had multiple heart attacks from watching Pretty Little Liars tonight.
Someone give me something cute and fuzzy or adorable or funny to calm my nerves. (Also you can check out my PLL live tweets at @KyraConsiders)

Well, quasi-historical accounts, anyway. Most of the actual references to Norse warriors with superhuman powers come from poetic sources, which is kinda like taking the Iliad as proof that gods existed and killers from the Aegean littoral could go toe-to-toe with them. The reality of the berserkr is a bit hard to suss out; Norse warriors who dressed up in bear-skins almost certainly existed, and they were probably associated with a 'fought like madmen' style, but going beyond that is hard, and ascribing magical powers of death and survival to them is exceedingly silly. It's not even clear to me that they were any better than 'normal' warriors.
True, but things like fighting through debilitating or lethal wounds is still possible. Given the fact that we have a mtn of evidence showing that people can accomplish superhuman feats that break all of rules when it comes to what the human body and mind should be capable of doing. Such as a mother being able to pick up her car and push it over when her child becomes trapped under it. Or people being able to survive a fall from a height that should have killed them. Or a hunter being able to fight off a bear with their bare hands when attacked.

Not mention what some drugs like PCP can do to a person, that would be a beserker for sure

Not its not automatic and you have to be pissed off, but its happened enough to cause police some problems when PCP was more widely used.

... Not exactly.
what is Pretty Little Liars?
PLL is about a group of girls who try to solve their friend's disappearance case. At the same time though, they're being blackmailed and continuously have to protect themselves. There's at least one murder every season and countless near death experiences.

Possibly. Look, I dunno about any of those things specifically, so I can't talk about their veracity. But the stories told about the skills of the berserkr are basically all legendary or couched in comically absurd terms. Attempting to explain them by watering them down into lesser and theoretically more plausible versions of the same thing - "maybe it was like that time one woman lifted a car all by herself" - misses the point, and assumes that there is some necessary core of a story that is 'true' even if embellished. That's simply wrong; apart from the legendary nature of many of these sagas, many actual historians of the period told stories about things that completely did not happen and cannot have happened. The stories about the berserkr do not say that they got mad enough to fight through pain and severe injury; they talk about warriors who tore through hordes of opponents, and on whose skin neither fire nor iron could make an impression. The only comparison to that is Superman, and he isn't real.
That doesn't mean that the berserkr wasn't real; they probably were, because from what I understand not all references to their existence are legendary. But the references to these capabilities are, and that's the problem.
Yes, the stories told make them out to be supermen. That I will not argue. What I'm simply saying is that you really can't look at such stories and simply dismiss everything as false. Because there is proof that a people can accomplish super human feats is specific situations. Does that mean that you can withstand several lethal injuries and walk away 100% of the time? No and not by a long shot. But, people have survived injuries that should have outright killed them before and there is proof of this. Heck, just look at the case of Wenseslao Moguel. The man was shot nine times by a firing squad and the firing squad commander even shot him at point black range in the face to ensure he was dead. During the night Monguel managed to crawl out of occupied territory and was rescued.
What likely happened is that such events took place in a few battlefields where berserkers where fighting. These incidents where rare and many of the details and facts where lost as these isolated incidents where retold by people and just like a game of telephone or a fish story, things where blown out of proportion and embellished as well.
like i said my opinion never did i claim it fact. Im watching it now and its still following my bias... though i will say their acting is well done
They are not assholes. It's a fascinating mystery.
I believe you. Really.Disclaimer I have not actually watched show
