Did you know that, to his dying day, Christopher Columbus insisted the lands he discovered were part of Asia and not a new continent?

Did you know this is one of the reasons our continent in named for Amerigo Vespucci and not after the first European to discover it (if you discount good old Leif Erickson and his band of merry marauders)?

Did you know this giant (90′ x 20′) decorative sculpture at the America restaurant in New York New York cost $1,000,000?

ELV thinks it’s pretty cool.

We at ELV just thought you’d like to know these things.

Happy Columbus Day!
