Why Happy Columbus Day?
I was a bit surprised to see that Helena wished Lavar a "Happy Columbus Day". You would think she would know all about the alleged discoverer of the Americas and what an asshole he apparently was.
The Columbus Myth
It's the original American myth and one that is guarded at all costs, but the record of Columbus is not one of history's glorious epics and his most notable achievements were a disgrace. Year after year the sanitized memory of this greed-obsessed, homicidal psychopath is honored. What an insult to the native people who, by his own reports were peaceful and loving, but from whom America was nevertheless stolen.

Could it be that Helena and her Starship are merely a figment of Lavar's fevered and somewhat limited imagination? No....surely not? Hmmmm!

Do you know how many bogus 'history' stories are out there?...fairytales that have NEVER been changed for truth's sake?...heaven help the school systems of the world if children were taught the truth...nope...me thinks it's easier for those in the know to want YOU to keep believing what THEY want you to know...we are so very gullible...heaven help the person who figures out there's more then meets the eye with 'history' stories...and this is one of the reasons why I can't stand the public school system...the education is controlled and onesided...the creative mind who can think for him/herself has no place in the school system anymore...too threatening...

It was, in fact, a Welshman who discovered America not Columbus.

It was, in fact, completely occupied when other's 'stumbled' upon it... which is to say, no one discovered squat save for a thing that was and is regards their own understanding. It's like me saying that I've discovered rocks, even though there was someone sitting on the rocks when I had discovered them. YAY ME!
All those stories of whom had discover what and when are just stories of the finest bunch of bullshit that ever was.
Christo the Great *cough* was commissioned by the Queen to discover the new promise rocks for the benefit of the Crown... Yeah, how can you discover something that you already know is there?... is the reason why you went looking for it in the first place? *cough*
