Columbus sailed the ocean blue,
In Fourteen Hundred-Ninety Two
For many days he was at sea,
Discovering land for you and me.
Ya Ho, Ya Ho, Ya Ho my lads Ya Ho....,
I remember singing this song in Miss Thomas's second grade class..
Personally, I have a problem celebrating the life of a Murdering, Kidnapping, Imperialistic, Thieving, Religious Zealot, but thats just me.......
They did name a town in Ohio after him though!!
Have a Great Day.....G

I am proud to tell you that we do not celebrate Columbus day in my county. We have indigenous peoples day instead. Arent we cool?
I got a big problem with that Columbus twerp.
Come see my Mona button, Gman!
Columbus was all those things????
Geeesh!
But i am glad he discovered land for you who I discovered! :D
By more modern standards, wouldn't Columbus have been hanged as a pirate? Second grade songs -- is there ANYthing you don't remember?:)
Yeah Im not crazy about someone who was so bad even if he did discover America for us. ah well.
Waving at you G-Man.

I remember that song.
Aw....flashback
He was looking for a trade route by sailing west instead of east. How could a guy so wrong end up so famous?
