Even when Columbus's 3 ships he recieved though with much argument.
How would you like to be on one of the ships, you didn't know where you were going or if you would even see land. And remember back then they thought the world was flat. Yes the land is mysteriously flat but you could still fall off the ends of the earth. If you had a death wish this would be the perfect place to go. I welcome the grim reaper! Lets party you muther f**ker. Tell saten hes a pussy and where the hell is Nero at?
You'd think their would be no water at all with a flat surface. Try dumping a gallon of water of your kitchen table and see where it all goes for instance. .....
Tell your loved ones it is for the sake of science. Then put you're arm on your chin like you are smart or something.
