Beowulf is a THUG!!!!

Beowulf is the man!
He is incredible, the guy took down Grendel with no armor or weaponry, ripped the arm right out of Grendel's socket! He should get to go live with the Norse gods or something, he's that cool. He should take Tyr's job because while Tyr is losing arms, Beowulf is ripping them off of monsters.

After reading this entry and seeing what Beowulf did to Grendel, it makes me believe his side of the swimming story. I think he should take Grendel's arm to a taxidermist and they should hang it on the wall of the mead hall.
Like i said, Beowulf is a Thug.
