mentioned to me in conversation that our Native Americans are called 'Indians' because Columbus thought he had found India.
"Columbus was lost. ," I replied. "Just think. If he had thought that the had found Manila they would have been called Filipinos.'
He thought about that for a second or two and said, "You're probably right."
Filipinos! Draw the wagons up into a circle!
Has a nice ring to it.

Someone asked me why there don't seem to be school shootings in Catholic schools and I told him that it's probably a nun with a steel edged ruler trumps a Smith and Wesson.
Actually there may very well be a kernel of truth to this at one time. Back in the days of the penguins the nuns were pretty bad assed and I guess the reputation still hangs in there.
