History

Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus: the Italian who got rejected by four countries, finally conned Spain into funding his trip, then missed Asia by 9,000 miles and died insisting he nailed it. His management style? Chop hands off workers who missed gold quotas. So brutal that Spanish colonizers reported him for cruelty and the Queen had him arrested in chains. We gave this man a federal holiday.
