Where do you think that Christopher Columbus originated

from?


Ohio?

Good guess!

Did you know that most American towns are named after European

places?

I come from a village called "Virginia".



Like Ypsilanti, Onancock, Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Seminole? or were
you referring to Susquehanna, Gogebic, or Huron?

Gosh no, I didn't know that. Is there a Plowville near you?


Yes, but in Europe, you see, all the places & towns are 1000s of years
older & much much more civilized, and the town would have been named so
long ago that it would be in Latin: Plovius Villus

Or Rut en Groundesse

Or Indianapolis, Denver, Albuquerque, Poukeepsie, Bean Blossom, Fort Wayne,
or Seattle?

I believe Donal was referring to Athens, NY.

You are all too stupid to realise that the Virginia in Ireland
was named
*AFTER* the Virginia in the USA.



Wrong Donut! You are too pompous to realize that we all don't
give a rat's ass about Ireland.

I was confident that none of you knew anything at all about history, ... and
I was absolutely correct!

Don't be so obtuse and sanctimonious, Donal. Wjhy should we
reiyterate the obvious? I've been to Manteo and the Roanoke
colony's landing place and live in the state of VA. Virginia Dare
was the child of British parents so therfore was named after
something British, not American.

Really!!!!

Can't you see that my post about Virginia *proved* that Americans are the
most sanctimonious race on Earth?

colony's landing place and live in the state of VA. Virginia Dare
was the child of British parents so therfore was named after

Virginia was named by Sir Walter Raleigh in honour of Queen Elizabeth the
First.

On his way back from America, he passed through Ireland ... and the village
of Baile Atha Lir. He renamed Baile Atha Lir "Virginia".

I come from the only town in Europe that is named after a place in America.

Irony is a foreign word in America .....
