Phew. I really got heated up in that last entry didn't I? I don't know why it bothered me so much. Maybe it's because they were such idiots. :D
And speaking of all things Asian, it seems like some guy named Gavin Menzies has made the discovery that it was the Chinese who discovered America long before Christopher Columbus. It's actually kind of interesting. And one of the guys who sailed to America then, a guy named Zheng He, is actually in my high school's history book, so he's actually a real guy! How cool... that guy must be a Sinbad-like guy, sailing everywhere. According to Menzies, he's been everywhere - America, Aztec, Peru, etc. For a time when they had no airplanes he sure got around a lot. Whew. If you wanna check out more, click here.
