Whoop de doo. Didn't Leif Erikkson discover America before even that? Like him, even if this story is true, it amounts to Jack and Spit. Nothing came of Erikkson's trip, and if this is true, then nothing came of the Chinese's trip. Something, however, DID come of Columbus' voyage. That's the only thing that matters.
All I did was ping blam to the thread. Where have I given ANY opinion about it? blam happens to be a history buff.
