InigoMontoya Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 The history books claim Christopher Columbus discovered America. If that's true how come there were hundreds of thousands of folk already there? No they don't. The history books point out he was a chancer trying his luck with the Spanish Court on his "route to the Orient", having already hawked his nonsense around most of Mediterranean Europe.

So Harry Brierley didn't invent stainless steel as he was actually trying to make long lasting gun barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'm with Oscar Wilde on this one: America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernStar Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Did Simon and Garfunkel ever find America? I know they went looking for it once, just wondered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
