Why yes - I think they discovered Idaho somewhere around that time I

Well I am glad we know who really discovered America. The vikings,
not Columbus. Well, if you ask the Indians they would say they did.
But I won't split hairs. And aren't they offended if you call them
"indians"? And isn't the word "they" offensive when referring to an
ethnic group? Forget it I am going boating. : )


Did you know that Vikings discovered everywhere?

It's true.

Why all humanity isn't worshipping Thor, Odin and be all blond hair,
blue eyed, I'll never figure out.
