your history of the world video @ 12m43s, you say Columbus discovers japan.  I assume that's intentional as a joke cause we all know it's wrong?  makes me wonder if there are other similar incorrect stuff in the video purposely put there to mess with us?
there is a persistent rumor that he thought cuba and hispanola were parts of china and japan. so using a little slight of hand i was able to twist the map during the atlantic voyage so that when we arrive at cuba, it almost looks like japan. i was considering labeling it "not japan" on the screen, i may or may not have done that, i can't remember because i haven't seen the video since it was released
