As a follow-up to yesterday’s mini-rant, a clever reader sent me to this Grand Avenue comic. The really amusing parts here are that the comic was published the day before my rant, and that not only did they get the “to prove the world isn’t flat” part wrong, but also Columbus’ intended destination. (He was aiming for Japan, actually. They knew that Japan was east of China, so that’d be what they bumped into first, if they were correct about which ocean Japan was on.)

None of this should stop you from finding the comic strip amusing, mind you. I got a laugh out of it, after all.
