Christopher Columbus went down to the docks and said, " Hey, fellas, who wants to sail off he edge of the earth with me?" Not getting any takers, he concocted a story about getting rich. This worked. On the trip, the sailors were bored so they invented curling. They used smoked hams and bowled them down the deck. In the big three ship tournament, the winner would have the next piece of land encountered, named after him. It would turn out to be the ship's cook, Ernie. So, when they got to America, Chris named it, " Ernieland". Then Ernie and the other sailors died from wood splinters in the smoked ham and Chris took back the title. He went around building stuff and naming it after himself. Stuff like: Columbus, Georgia, Columbus, Ohio, and so on. He built numerous Columbus Avenues and even dug the Columbia River. Hey, look it up...it's in the book. Well, he returned to Spain but ended up in big trouble because he didn't make one thing named Isabella. The Queen took away his title to the place and sold it to the Vespucci Crime family who had taken her jewels as collateral. Americos Vespucci came here, named the place after himself. Soon a gangland war errupted between the Columbus folk and the Vespucci family finally forcing the Columbus folks to set sail for South America where they formed their own country, Columbia. Hey, look it up. It's in the book.

Rats, scurvy, a mutinous crew, and some natives too stupid to realize what this meant to their future.
