re: #336 Ojoe

Dang. All the way through the Middle Ages, the educated knew the world was “round.”

Columbus knew it was round, or he would not have tried to go east by going west.

He seriously underestimated the earth’s size, however.

This let him believe that he had gone as far as Japan when he had only gotten to Hispaniola.

More education is needed.

Hey, Ojoe.
