Happy 4th and a trivia point
| July 04, 2016 07:49AM |
Hi,
Happy Birthday America (why do we not live in the United States of Columbus - he "discovered" the Americas)?
On July 4, 1826, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died – Happy Independence Day!
And from an old TV commercial:
A sailor on the Santa Maria looks through a telescope "distance viewer" and says. "I see Ohio, Columbus!".
Columbus responds, "That's Columus, Ohio".
