There’s a TOPIC?!
Oh yeah…
Cannondale is overpriced for what you get.
No one needs more than 10 gears if that.
Lycra pants on men are a crime against humanity.
The topic is the American Indian contributions to the world.
If you are interested, you can start with these books. You can buy them by some dozens of bucks… Or just ask me anything about the topic, for free.

Neither is whiskey but I have it on good authority that the Aztecs landed on the moon first.
That’s the legend of the Moon Rabbit.
However, obviously you haven’t heared about Nezahualcoyotl and his engineering achievements.
Except he wasn’t Aztec and yes I’ve heard of him.
What exactly qualifies as “Indian” in this thread and why the sudden need to edumacate us?
It’s not sudden - it’s his schtick. He hides it under the guise of “just asking questions.”
What is an “Indian”? Well, Indian was a term invented by that ignorant Catalan pirate called Cristobal Colon… (perhaps you know about him with the latiniced name “Columbus”). As you know, that mercenary become crazy reading Marco Polo, and when he attempt his trip, he believed had reached India but has only reached the Caribbean, so he called Indian to the people there, and by extension, to all the people of the Western Hemisphere.
I was born in the Western Hemisphere, therefore I have a deep interest in the peoples of this part of the world, particularly to the people that has lived here from ages.
I don’t feel the need to educate you. I know some people can’t be educated against theirs will. I just opened a thread about this topic, and if you aren’t interested you can leave it. It is yours choice.
Colombus was from Genoa. Please, do tell me that at least that amount of knowledge has reached the part of Chile where you live. Ironic that you felt the need to add ignorant to the sentence.
As much as you’d like to act like this is your private blog, you are no mod here. If your arguments are too feeble to support your claims, you might be the one in want of a leave.
And you’ll get back to us in a month. Or not.
Columbus may have been from Genoa,
But Cristobal Colon was Catalan.
Show me a single letter of Colon written in Italian or an Italian dialect.
Nope, the guy spoke and wrote in Spanish languages (Castillian, Catalan), even in his letters to Italy! As far as the research goes, he was probably a Catalan pirate.
And yes, there was a Columbus family in Genoa, but the link with the Colon doesn’t exist. :rolleyes:
Here you go genius.
And if he wasnt from Genoa, why the fuck would he have written letters to Italy?
And just for your information, Christoph Kolumbus wasnt german nor was Kristof Kolomb Turkish…
Don’t relay on Wiki. Those ideas are from the 60s:
Please study better sources
No shyt.
I’ll take the JD single barrel over a comparably priced scotch any day.
God they must have been constipated.
Wow. Golf clap on this, I wished I had come up with that one.
Nah. Everyone who talks Spanish knows the ridiculous last name of the Admiral Columbus.
The Wigwam Motel would probably be a used car lot . . . for wooden cars.
I knew him best as Cassius Clay. He invented microwave dinners and the hypodermic needle. Unfortunately it was centuries before Lizzie Borden invented the microwave and George Washington Carver invented peanut insulin, so few people realized his brilliance.
The real tragic irony is that, despite being the inventor of the TV dinner, he was not allowed to use the “whites only” microwave, and so perished of hunger.
here’s the thing- you’re falling into the trap of assuming that if the person/people who discovered something hadn’t actually done so, then it would never have been discovered at all.
And that’s BS, sorry. Someone would have discovered/invented it.
