[Rhodes22-list] Captain Rummy, praise be to Green Gore...

[john Belanger]

my understanding is that iceland was discovered first, and eric the red, or whomever, had a hard time getting people to colonize the place because of the name. so when he discovered the next piece of land, equally icy, he called it greenland. ;-)

Captain Rummy,

I do not doubt that there is a global warming trend. However, I refuse to
bow down to Green Gore. According to old history books printed before
modern liberal political correctness, the Vikings lived and farmed in a
place called Greenland. Modern teachers said that it must have been
misnamed because in the latter half of the 20th century, the place was white
not green.

In a recent archilogolical article, avoid my your liberal press, it was
reported and pictures shown of a where a Viking farm was being exposed from
under a retreating glacier. How could that be? How did they sneak such
ruins under that glacier?

To those who do not worship Green Gore, accept the fact that the weather
goes thru cycles of warming and cooling. What did the Vikings do in
Greenland to cause a Glacier to advance over their farms. Worship the wrong
gods?

Bye the way, say hello to Bob Shuck from me. Tell we expect him to come
back down to Hartwell for a sail in the spring, before your nemisis hot sun
takes over.
