Poor Columbus. It's good to see you have acquiesced to the culture here; you championed a strict on-topic rule, but now you understand that most posters are not here to discuss boating. It seems only a short time ago I was reading that the forum was greatly improved, and that OT topics were now at a minimum; would you now agree with that statement? Maybe my standards are more lax than yours, but I consider a thread about Columbus or any other mariner of historic importance to be a relevant topic in a boating NG. How do you feel about Amerigo Vespucci? I've never studied up much on him, but I know he was one of the earliest Portuguese explorers to actual find the mainlands on North and South America. When is Amerigo Vespucci day? When his holiday comes around it might be useful to post a few lines about this important historic navigator as well. How about Henry Hudson? :) WHEN THE HELL IS HENRY HUDSON DAY?!?!?!?!? Hmmmmm? Or for that matter, Canada should have a Sir Humphrey Gilbert Day. Or Jaques Cartier Day. Man, I'm telling you Chuck, you are on to something here. My entire working career, we heard that we should have another stat holiday in February. I'm retired now and still waiting. Business up here complain how much that would cost them. In this area we have New Years, Good Friday & Easter Sunday, Victoria Day, Natal Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving, Rememberance Day and finally Christmas. D'oh! I forgot Canada Day on July 01. |
