| there's a book on this called 1421: the year china discovered america it's a valid hypothesis but this story is a decade old at least. and the book has alot of holes alongside a few pretty solid pieces of evidence |

| seeing as how this article's from 1875 I'd say you're right that it's a decade old at least |

| I tried to read Virginia Woolf's obit in the Times of London, and though I couldn't without paying a fee the system did show me where it ran on the page. SO cool. |
