He did, but there were already people here when he "discovered" it too. (I just call it Monday)

I call it a Stupid Day To Have a Day Off Why Not Have a Better Day to Take a Day Off Like the 9/11 Aniversary or Pearl Harbor Day.

Call it whatever you want. Call it Chief Running Herd Day, for all it matters. It is Columbus Day, and, for some reason, I am pretty sure that what you think will not change that.

Both even though Leaf discovered it first he was only in it for the rampaging and plundering that all Vikings love. Colombus was intersted in it for the fame and he has a catchy tune too.

Great question. Let's call it after Erickson as he got here first. Even so we could call it Americus Vespucci day, an Italian map maker who drew up the first map of USA
