LOL!!
David, I didn't know about the Icelandic law!
I did know that the medieval Basques spent enough time on Iceland to learn a bit of Icelandic (must have been before the law was enacted).
I also found out recently that there's quite a bit of Irish DNA in the Icelandic maternal line. It appears that the Vikings (mostly Norwegians and Danes) who settled in Iceland stopped off in Ireland to do a bit of "shopping" before continuing on to Iceland.
