Where the heck did all of these political trolls suddenly come from?

@Slade Thanks for admitting you are a troll, [b]LOL!!![/b]

@ElwoodBlues Cope harder. Tomorrow is [b]COLUMBUS DAY![/b]

@Slade I adore Columbus. In fact, I'm thinking of making a pilgrimage to his grave. Can you tell me where he's buried?

Maybe.

@Thinkerbell And his actual discovery may have been Haiti! But I'm still a big fan - Columbus went against the "flat Earth fall off the edge" superstitions of the day based on his observations of ships slowly rising above the horizon as they sailed towards harbor.

[quote] ... American underwater archeologist Barry Clifford claimed to have discovered the wreck of the Santa Maria, Columbus’ flagship that ran aground off the coast of Haiti on Dec. 25, 1492. “I am confident that a full excavation of the wreck will yield the first-ever detailed marine archaeological evidence of Columbus’ discovery of America,” Clifford told the BBC.[/quote]

@ElwoodBlues like you'd even belong in the same universe as such a great man

Tell your woke crowd your demented mission is a failure - just like all of them

Any educated person would have known that.
Eratosthenes made a remarkabley accurate calculation of the Earth's circumference about 1700 years before Columbus lived.

@Thinkerbell Sure, the ancient Greeks knew it, but an awful lot of hard-won knowledge was replaced by superstition during the "dark ages."


I prefer to celebrate the intrepid explorer under his birth name, Cristoforo Colombo.

@ElwoodBlues if they hit Haiti how TF did the Frenchies end up with it? And curse it so it's still a hell hole 200 years after they left?

@Slade End up with what?
