Columbus Day is a national holiday in many countries of the Americas and elsewhere, and a federal holiday in the United States, which officially celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas on October 12, 1492.

Says it is "a federal holiday".   How come I don't get it off?

 

I ordered a chicken and an egg online. I'll let you know.

The ridiculous part is the fact that Columbus never set foot in America, much less discovered it.    That would have been Leif Erikson, about 500 years earlier, around the year 1,000; if we're going by notable first European/Westerner.  Recently discovered footprints push back first continental settlement from ~16,000 years ago to ~23,000 years in the past*.  And being we're all human, it's really a moot point.  Genetic anthropology & genealogy trace it all back to Africa.

After some research I have found that the American Indians life span before Europeans came to the Americas was no higher than 50 years old and average life span was 35 years. Doent sound like a good choice Kapt. lol    But I do understand what you were trying to say and I wish it could happen.
