btw Columbus did not discover America, first person to do so was the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (after who America is named), but somehow Columbus receives all the credit.

Columbus was Genoese, as were most Portuguese mariners.

On his third voyage, he made landfall in South America. Unlike Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci knew that South America was a new continent and not Asia.

The Norse had established colonies in North America five centuries earlier.

Nonetheless, the voyages of Columbus initiated exploration of the Americas, dramatically expanding the European entry into the Atlantic that began with the 1415 Portuguese conquest of Ceuta in Morocco.

But we are Buddhist now and have no thirst for violence.

That's why London still owns you.

Did anyone bother to ask him while he was playing Titled Tuesday?

"Everyone knows that Nakamura was born in Osaka....."

That's why it is not a troll post. The serious part was the photo and why the red flag was there.

No one owns a Shaolin priest,  materialism is meaningless to him.

Anyone who has tasted a finely crafted beer cannot put a water thin and tasteless brew like wusswesier near his mouth again. he would be reticent about feeding it to his dog.

The last time I swilled anything resembling that was about eight years ago, before a Washington State football game. The game was about to start, this fellow had been "tailgating," had a bunch of beer left, Bud Light or something equally awful, and was giving it away. It was hard to say no.

Watching my Cougars play football makes anything containing alcohol drinkable.

Most Chinese have mono-syllabic surnames. In the old catalog of surnames dating back to the Sung Dynasty , there are 400+ monosyllabic ones and 60+ with two syllables like Sima, Au Yeung etc. The surnames are mainly related to the geographical origin of one's ancestors even though some are related to jobs etc. So, Japanese surnames are very different from Chinese ones.

LOL - its either that or be left with teeth marks all along the edge of the sofa.

Sorry Scots, but you got me in a quandary.  When you say football, I know you actually mean soccer. 

 

But that's not the confusing part.  When you refer to alcohol, are you referring to beer or some of the "good stuff"?   And what exactly is this good stuff?

 

I am a poor old yank.  We don't have beer like the Germans or whiskey like the Scots.

if he is from iceland, i guess that would explain why he has dark skin

He's Japanese/American. Not Icelandic.

        I understand he's a U.S. Citizen. The name is Japanese.

Of course, his name is East Asian. I was surprised upon knowing he was American. Later, figured out that he was born in Japan.
