With the pricking of my thumb, something wicked this way comes.
Columbus Day? What the hell for? He did not
"discover" America. He simply misplaced himself and
called
it India then had the privledge of naming this plot. Why does he
get so much props? WHY!?! What about the
real history? What about the countless times this place was
"discovered" before Columbus? Why can't they
just rewrite the books? It's not like they haven't been rewrting
our history books for years now, anyway.
Columbus Day my ass. It's a secondary excuse for teachers,
bankers and other forms of nematodes
to get
the day off. Not that teachers are nematodes, unless they are,
but I wouldn't put them in the "parasite" cate-
gorey just yet.
? All 50 states are listed across the top of the Lincoln Memorial on the back of the $5 bill. ?
Ok, the MENSA challenge for yesterday was a bit difficult but that was the point! So, here is the answer:
The fact that there were no "e"s in the paragraph was the unusual thing about it since "e" is the
most commonly used letter.
LOSERS.
I think I am out of crap to
share today. I have been hammering away at this for 2 ? hours
now and I have
nothing of interest to share.
This is where I sit and stare at the monitor until something comes to mind.
PERFECT! Pre-Columbian Menu and other curiousities.
During the lifetimes of ancient folk, tobacco didn't exist in Egypt, cocoa had never been seen in Rome,
and pigs didn't live in Mexico. In fact, many of the plants and animals that cover the globe today weren't
widespread until the voyages of Columbus redrew the ecological map of the world.Before 1492, no Englishman ever ate corn (they may not eat it now, either, it's food for the pigs!) No Native
American rode a horse. There were no wheat fields waving across the Great Plains, and you could not get
your Italian aunt's recipe for tomato sauce because no one in Italy had ever seen a tomato. There were
no bananas in Gautemala, oranges in Florida nor peaches in Georgia. Nor were there potatoes in England.Columbus's voyages of discovery created traffic in the Atlantic. Explorers conquistadors, missionaries and
settlers moved back and forth between the New World and the Old, with plants and animals and brought
back what they found in the Americas. They brought the plagues and diseases they left in the New World. Sad
but true. The Native Americans had never experienced disease before the savages of the "white man."
Assimilate that nugget of wisdom
and remember who your daddy is!

Dude that whole
$5 thing, I just discovered that the other day when I was bored,
and I agree, this Columbus
Day thing is stupid. Kill all the white man!
