I was browsing through the Easter Eggs page for Skyrim, when I noticed that under the Armors section, there was a side note that read,

"NOTE: in Norse legend arrow to the knee was a way of saying "getting married".

Contrary to recent internet rumors circulating other forums, this is not an ancient norse proverb. Norse culture comes from the Vikings, and is portrayed frequently in Skryim. Marrital status, or being married, did not stop men from going on raids and exploring. Infact, women more than rarely took part in raids as well. The term Shield Maiden, referenced in Skyrim by Jordis the Sword Maiden, who is marriable, describes the women who took part in these raids.

But enough of that, my point is that the arrow in the knee jokes are actually a reference to the removal of grieives armors. This explanation is given in the Wiki page, but I feel that having baseless and unsubstantiated rumors and false information next to facts hurts the integrity of the Wiki page.

I wasn't entirely sure where to post this, but hopefully someone will see this and make corrections to the page.
