    I knew that mentioning his blonde hair would elicit the response of at least one of the victicrats in the Forum.  :baby:

    • Quiz:

    What was the complete name of Columbus' flagship, the Santa Maria (6 words/7 in Spanish)?

    What was the name of the priest who celebrated the first Mass in the New World? He accompanied Columbus on his second voyage.

    What was the primary objective of Columbus when he set sail across the Atlantic?

    What was the feast day when the crew first sighted land in the New World?

    Columbus wanted to get enough gold to free Jerusalem from whom?

    What hymn did Columbus and his crew sing when they sighted land?

    What was the name of the priest who persuaded Queen Isabella to let Columbus sail?

    What was the prayer that all 3 ships prayed together, parts of which were signaled by flags from the Santa Maria?

    How would Columbus' ships become a portent, in retrospect, of the miraculous appearance of the Virgin of Guadalupe 39 years later?
