Also known as Columbus day.  Actually it was yesterday, but state employees get today off.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Surely simply discovering some unknown islands is not equivalent to conquering anything.

Well it led to conquest.  Unlike the lazy Vikings who showed up, camped out then left.

Woo!  :bowler:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Unknown to the dude discovering them.  I cannot really recall a period in my life I was not aware of the Carribean islands.

I guess I personally discovered them in Kindergarten or something.  They had these nice maps of the world I used to enjoy.
