Columbus, You’re Silly.

Well, I found out tonight that apparently Columbus – bane of my existance and the 1400′s answer to Mel “Screw The Jews” Gibson – was actually a Connecticut Yankee, as it turns out. On a neatimous program on the History Channel about Christopher’s final grand adventure, they mentioned that, in order to scare the native people into feeding them after they had already tried to kill the natives and alienated them, Columbus used knowledge of a lunar eclipse, painting it as his angry God’s wrath. And it worked! How the hell did that happen!? Whatever, he went home humiliated, which I think is hilarious and nothing can make it better or sweeter, lol.
