If they are the same ones I've seen before, I've seen most of them.
I'm getting a history minor here at school, and I'm a history junkie. Especially military history...
History channel is my favorite.

You can always tell a good Barbarian tribe if their name is still being used...Especially in a negative context.
Like, the Vandals MUST have been badass. To have your name so synonomous with destruction that even what...1500 years later now we use it to talk about an act of wanton destruction. Its still in our law-books, you cannot vandalize someones house.
Thats making a name for yourself...

Ever heard of the Jews. I hear those fuckers were relentless with hoarding money and killing all others that stood in their way.

Whereas the Vandals name lives on in a kick ass way, the Mongols have it bad. Fucking mongoloids, that sucks.

It's a joke.
Plus, I didn't say they weren't bad ass, I said their name doesn't live on in a bad ass way.
