smooth

I was wondering just what the heck I was thinking until I saw this part:
I guess I should have mentioned that what I read specifically contradicted (and said as much) the historically inaccurate portrayal of Columbus as Italian

Such is the danger of mythos.


lol, so I read this portion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo...ject_of_Debate

and the fucker may have been portuguese!

Now he's My Hero!



EDIT: now, I may be wrong, but the thread title was changed days ago. I don't know why it's even a point in discussion. The only reference to the divisive "version" is by a moderator, actually. But aside from that, the dude has been dead for what, like 500 years? Why is anyone offended by him being called anything derogatory?

I'm assuming pan was pissed because he thought he was italian. but he wasn't, he's portuguese and I don't care if you'all call him something nasty
