Earlier (yesterday(?)) we 'learned' this from Drudge;
"Does this map from 1418 prove historian's controversial claim that the New World was discovered by the CHINESE 70 years before Columbus?"

While at least we have positive evidence of the Viking settlement (1000AD) from multiple sources and physical evidence at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, what all of the "Other than Columbus" discovery advocates choose to miss is that it was Columbus that started the PERMANENT European knowledge of the Wester Hemisphere.

It matters not that the Phoenicians, Chinese, Irish, Hebrews, or whomever landed on the extensive shore of the Western Hemisphere before Columbus, still it was he, in 1492 that started, for better or ill, the permanent knowledge of the AMERICAS! None-the-less I will give honors to Eric & Lief, sailing the North Atlantic in those Knarrs was a very MANLY Work!

Why is it Amerigo Vespucci who names the continents rather than Cristobal Colon remains an irritant to me but pace, they are both dead!

Leif Garrett? What’s the difference between Leif and mosquitos?
Mosquitoes are only annoying in the summer.

Now that’s funny. By the way, you’re supposed to call them “Big Mean Gingers”.

[cripplecreek]

LIL @ Big Mean Gingers.

[DManA]

I wonder what fraction of the world’s population “gets” that?

[blueunicorn6]

Grandma always told me that I was so dark because the Vikings kidnapped the gypsy princesses and brought them back to Norway to marry. What if the Vikings kidnapped some Chinese princesses? I’ll bet that’s where Herring Foo Yung came from.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I must have been thinking about Leif Erikson?

[Conspiracy Guy]

I think it was Rowdy Yates. No that was Clint Eastwood.

[OldNewYork]

Good old Snorri.

Happy Leif Erikson Day.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

You had to be from MN or lived there for a few years to understand that line...

Cheers !
