Erdogan: Muslims discovered America in 12th century

[Razgovory]

As Oscar Wilde said America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.

I've wondered, are you going to convert to Catholicism on your death bed like Wilde?

[The Brain]

Catholicism is about fucking boys.

Hasn't Mart always said that was the plan?

Indeed. I just hope to go straight to a death bed conversion, without passing the scandal and jail time phases.

I would prefer this was in a warmer clime, like Southern Italy or Spain, perhaps, though.

So, more Charles II than Wilde.

Marti wishes to go straight?  He is gay?

No, just hedging his bets.  All lapsed Catholics do.

[Martinus]

You could say that. Oscar Wilde should be taught in law schools - as well as literature classes - as an example of when to advise your client not to bring a civil lawsuit.

Edit: this was in response to Malthus.

That's the beauty of Catholicism. Protestantism seems like a religion for chartered accountants.

I like the "Picture of Dorian Gray".

All these people that talk about pre Columbian discovery forget that for discovery it had to be a two way trip.
Yes, I don't doubt Phoenicians and Egyptians could have made it to America, but I very much doubt they made it back.

Well there goes any chance of discovery of an earth like planet

Why would anyone go back to the Middle East?

Might be more accurate to say it's "based on actual events."

Mel Gibson movies like The Patriot and Braveheart were based on actual events, so yeah, that would be fitting.
