re: #271 wheat-dogg
Columbus was just very lucky there happened to be large land masses between Asia and Spain. He was not brilliant or especially gifted as a navigator. Had they not sighted land when they did, his crew either would have died at sea or mutinied, and sailed back to Europe.
Pretty sad excuse for a hero, if you ask me.
Besides, the Vikings got to North America
