Mrs Chili, is he the bloke that demonstrated it was possible to canoe across the south Pacific? Still, I can't help but think that he knew what was there before going. Trying to hit Easter Island would be like playing that horseshoe game in complete darkness. Cooper, that's quite an interesting 'discovery'. I especially like the quote from Tsinghua University visiting professor Paddy O’Pinyin:

Beag air bheag, fookin lai’n lil’ basta’s a’ re-writin’ fookin’ histor’e wee lit’l fookers’

And that wee man thing? Hmm, not the most faithful example of Scottish, methinks. Indeed Cath, but then again, Scottish English spoken fast enough can be so uninterpretable that it may as well be Gaelic! In fact just about anything from Yorkshire up spoken quickly borders on unintelligibility of Danish proportions.

That’s quite a feat!

Careful when you tell Chinese people that they didn’t discover America first- they’re rather proud, and according to them, they discovered MANY things before the savages of the rest of the world did…

I don’t really know much about early seafarers, or early chickens, but I do remember reading about Thor Heyerdahl in high school…
