Columbus, an Italian that turned on his country because they wouldn't finance his fantasy.
He goes to a neighboring country, takes the royal jewels and heads out in the wrong direction to prove what, at the time, was nothing more than an idea considered foolish.
He discovers (not really, it was already inhabited by humans!) a new country and claims it in the name of Spain, not his homeland of Italy!!
And now who celebrates his birthday? The Spanish? NO! The Native Americans? NO! It is celebrated by the country he betrayed!
Folks, ya just can't make this stuff up!!!
And then "someone" in oHIo.... decides to further the "crime" by naming a city after the traitor!
Buckeye? or is that Blindeye! (devil)

Being that my kids and grandkids are OSU people I've got some heavy duty rooting to do. Oldest grandson left this morning for Arizona. He's in the band.
