ForeverNight Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Is that a joke or serious.... I honestly can't tell when it's reasonable until the part about the millions of thousands of people that were in the New World before Contact and how the Egyptians were helping the Mayans build their giant pyramids...... ???
Sabretooth Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 And the poor nomadic souls who spent their lives and generations traversing Asia, across the land bridge and into the continent you now call America go completely unnoticed.
Godric Volturi Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Ahahaha... this reminds me of that Spongebob episode where he makes bubble buddy xD I always thought Lief Ericson day was a myth X_x

jawathehutt Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 According to wikipedia and my calendar, you either live in a crazy timezone or your like 15 days off.
Jeff Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 You guys are dumb, Christopher Columbus discovered America.
Darth Avlectus Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I thought vikings walked across the frozen north pole 9500 years ago and unsucessfull settled here. Plz don't ban me from ahto kthxbai
VarsityPuppet Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Ahahaha... this reminds me of that Spongebob episode where he makes bubble buddy xD I always thought Lief Ericson day was a myth X_x I saw this thread and that's exactly what I thought: Oh my GOD! It's that Spongebob episode! Is this really a holiday though?
Godric Volturi Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I saw this thread and that's exactly what I thought: Oh my GOD! It's that Spongebob episode! Is this really a holiday though? Ahaha. Great minds think alike Varsity... haha... but I wanna know the same thing... I always just assumed it was the creator's idea of an interesting name for a holiday... it even said at the start of the episode "Even if he has to make one up" ahaha... x_x
purifier Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Here's some info on it, if anybody wants to know..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leif_Erikson_Day And btw, the Norse/Scandinavians are the first Europeans to discover North America. They are now printing that fact in the latest editions of every history book, whether some people like it or not.
Te Je'karta Mand'alor Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 You guys are dumb, Christopher Columbus discovered America. and i bet you believe george washington was the first president According to wikipedia and my calendar, you either live in a crazy timezone or your like 15 days off. yeah it's on October 9th. i won't be on then
Astrotoy7 Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 What a hoot.... I wonder what the native populations of the Americas thought when the land theyd been inhabiting for tens of thousands of years was being "discovered for the first time" Good old WASP vanity... Giovanni Caboto Really, you're towing the Caboto line?? wow!! Heck, might as well say Egypt and The Britons were discovered by the Romans Toth, Nicholas 1991 The Material Record. In The First Americans: Search and Research. Edited by Ton D. Dillehay and David J. Meltzer, pp. 53-76. CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL. And the poor nomadic souls who spent their lives and generations traversing Asia, across the land bridge and into the continent you now call America go completely unnoticed. Sabre FTW! Well said man. As you are from the subcontinent Sabre, I believe you should claim native title immediately and assume governorship of that continent All dudes and douchebags shall be evicted to the Frozen North, and Western Latin regions from whence they came. All hot chicks will stay. I'm hoping you can give me a spot as the Ambassador for Asia Minor mtfbwya
Sabretooth Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Really, you're towing the Caboto line?? wow!! Heck, might as well say Egypt and The Britons were discovered by the Romans This would be an excellent opportunity to repost this:
Astrotoy7 Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 This would be an excellent opportunity to repost this: lolz..back playing the subaltern sabre? Darathy will clock in a 60F by his own meter (I hope subaltern isnt too pompous btw... my original thought was Pet Monkey) Still, I guess Id be mad too if this were my field(health sciences, anatomy, physiology) and stray internet indians and cypriot ruffians were giving a more complete picture of the topic at hand mtfbwya
Darth InSidious Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Really, you're towing the Caboto line?? wow!! Heck, might as well say Egypt and The Britons were discovered by the Romans Really, you can't spell 'toeing' or grasp that posting a crackpot website was a joke?? wow!!
Astrotoy7 Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Really, you can't spell 'toeing' or grasp that posting a crackpot website was a joke?? wow!! Ah yes, a joke!! I personally didnt get the giggles, but was expecting something a bit more scholarly and informative from you. My bad. I am vaguely aware of the (Naval IIRC) origins of the phrase 'toeing'. I like the image of you pulling Caboto's ludicrous boat with a rope MUCH better. Also, any opportunity to bust your papyrus thermometer is very hard to resist (actually I am perplexed by why you are here given your rage towards popular culture...) Before there is any further spouting though, I declare this topic to be one of those "Obi Wan Kenobi From a Certain Point of View" Conundrums. ie. it really depends on what one wants to define as 'Discovered The Americas' Arrrive in a boat from Europe? Be the first of mankind to enter an inhabit a region? mtfbwya
Jae Onasi Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 *Jae observes whizzing match developing between Astro and DI* Boys, I'm mighty tired of seeing whizzing matches between you two, and Astro, you're a mod and should know better. Kindly STFU with the insults back and forth so the rest of us don't have to stand in the same pool of pee you all are creating. Thank you.
Te Je'karta Mand'alor Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 now i'm just curious here... does anyone here BESIDES me celebrate Lief Ericson day?
mur'phon Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Not a holliday in Norway, because frankly, we have enough of them already (alternatively we don't want to celebrate the exploits of someone insane enough to cross the atlantic in a longship). *Goes off to enjoy autumn holliday*

purifier Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 now i'm just curious here... does anyone here BESIDES me celebrate Lief Ericson day? Well I do observe it myself Scav. Just never really celebrated it though.
mur'phon Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I wasn't aware that the day existed before you changed your name so I clicked view post to figure out why an unknown mandomaniac was on my ignore list. Answer enough?
