Write a history text book for the public schools. I dare you. (Oh, and
arrange to have my kids sent a copy, please.)

Wrong again. Columbus invented the Knights. And I don't mean Gladys and
her brother Merald. Columbus never discovered anything, but he did found a
city in Ohio which went undiscovered until 1812 when the Indians finally
admitted that Ohio wasn't Andhra Pradesh and that the whole India-thing was
a hoax concocted to sell poke sallet to the settlers as a precious spice.
It occurred to some of the more astute settlers that if this wasn't Andhra
Pradesh, then this city probably wasn't Hyderabad at all, but the lost city
of Columbus. And so it proved to be. This infamous rip-off of the generous
white race came to be known as the Shame of the Shawnees as everyone knows.
