wait, i thought theyre saying he wasnt from Genoa, but was actually a Spanish mercenary from southern Spain fighting against Ferdinand and Isabella before they came to power... anyway try vivisimo.com. for sarcasm, see what you can find under wikipedia and uncyclopedia.com

That's another theory I've heard lately - the latest I've heard is that he's from, well, some strange sounding country I'd never heard of before...

Genoa? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_...opher_Columbus

No, I think it started with a P, and honestly it was a place I'd never heard of. I'll dig around and see if I can find the report I heard...

Well, he conquered America, I can tell you that, cause I have some spanish roots (Spain), and some portuguese also.

Lately here in Guatemala there are some protests, cuase we have a national holiday (I dont mind that holiday at all, a day off...hehe), and that holiday supposedly celebrates the conquest of him, and some people are argiung about that being a "slavery memory".

if its sarcastic, throw in how he was 400+ years late and that Leif Eriksson beat him to it.
