Maybe they were right-

Follow along.  Close your eyes...wait, you cant read and close your eyes at the same time.  So keep your eyes open and think with me.  Imagine it is 1491, you're in a bar, somewhere in Italy or Spain.  Some dude named Chris comes up to you and says- "hey the world is in fact NOT flat, it is round."  Could you just imagine, hear, the laughter that would ensue.  Now, take you and all your buddies in that bar, along with the crazy dude who thinks the world is round- put them in a time machine and drop them off in North Dakota.  Most would think it was Christopher who was wrong and in fact the world IS flat.  Very nice people, they sound a little funny (I'm sure they say the same about me), and UND is having an interesting debate over the Fighting Sioux name/mascot they have here at the school.  It is a interesting place, but very, very, very flat.

  1. Never be politically correct,instead do the right thing and the thing that makes common sense. The Flaget Braves had great respect for the Indian or the Native American. As someone who is part Indian and part Irish I am not offended by Indian or even Mick. I wear those proudly. Grow up America.

  2. You haven't been to Iowa or Nebraska yet. Really, really flat.
