[jasedwads]

[PaulyPac]

fuck christopher columbus

 

[Pacaveli-T]

apprently some schools have taught that jesus sacrificed himself for punishment to us and that makes ''judgment day'' supposedly for us and i was taught that he did it for sacrifice for us to have a better life....so i dunno here english schools taught he did it for the greater good of mankind and french schools been teaching that its punishment for our sins....

 

[2Pax]

I once walked by the staff room and heard a male teacher swearing and dissing a guy I knew, the guy didn't believe me though.

 

[one mc on dj]

fuck christopher columbus

wOrD fuck em all...

BUt seriously who gives a fuck man? Let em teach false facts it's not like you need em neway..As long as you know Colombus or whatever had something to do with the whole situation its all good...

 

[FunKy HomosapiEn]

yeah obviously the indians discovered america.

 

[nail_polish]

columbus and his people would torture and cut off body parts of natives...that they have parades for a murderer and sadist is shame

also Helen Keller was a very active socialist, they dont mention that in school other...

 

[Little Skittle]

im pretty sure marie antoinette did say that famous line (unless u can prove otherwise, which is pretty much possible)

also, one of my teachers tried tellin me italians didnt have tomatoes until they stole it from the native americans (which im sure is bullshit)

and i sure colombus is spanish? i thought he was portugese??? (im not sure, but I DO KNO FOR SURE that if he sailed for spain hes portugese, or if he sailed for portugal hes spanish)

Not entirely faithful to the subject, but anyway...

Some things you might have been told, that aren't true.

The Great Wall of China is the only man-made object visible from space/the moon
Human beings only use 10% of our brains
Men think about sex every 5/7/10/* seconds
Lemmings jump off of climbs as a form of population control
Mussolini made the trains run on time
French fries came from France
The nursery rhyme Ring Around The Rosie is about the Black Plague
The nursery rhyme Six a Song of Sixpence was used by pirates to recruit crew members
An undercover police officer must answer yes to "Are you a cop?" to avoid entrapment.
Chewing gum takes seven years to pass through the human digestive system
Hair grows back darker or thicker after it has been shaved
The number of hooves a horse has in the air on a statue tells you how the rider died

Yeah, the tour guide on the way there spoilt that one for me.

So true though, it blends into the hills....and it's not all that wide.

 

[Florida123]

Same with pasta too....

true that!

 

[Illuminattile]

Columbus was probably from Genoa (Italy), though that's up for debate.

"Let them eat cake" was probably said by Maria Theresa of Spain, not her descendent Marie Antoinette.

Yeah, not only is it not visible from space (or particularly visible from the sky) but there are plenty of man-made objects visible from space.

 

[Missy "C"]

Christopher Columbus * was not the first person to discover the western world.

no, columbus didn't discover america, nor the chinese. There has been people here living for a very long time, native people, then when europeans came, and they were killed. But there were great empires and civilizations in America before they arrived, so they didn't discover anything.

The whole history book?

I thought that was true? same with patatoes?

 

[Little Skittle]

italians have had grapes since centuries before the new world was found, because there climate is perfect, and since grapes and tomatoes need pretty much the same environment (and tomatoes are traditional italian food), this myth is false i believe....

ps illuminatile, are u sure the facts u shared are false...because im pretty sure some of them are true...do u have sources?

 

[Illuminattile]

ps illuminatile, are u sure the facts u shared are false...because im pretty sure some of them are true...do u have sources?

Which ones? I'm pretty positive on all of them.

Tomatoes originated in the new world, europeans believed it was poisonus when they first saw it. They are like potatoes, they were brought back to Europe by traders and soon became popular in many culture diets. Look up the history of it, there was no mention of tomatoes in Roman/Italian history until the 16th century.
