Happy Pedro Scotto Day!

Was Christopher Columbus actually a Scotsman named Pedro Scotto? My opinion: no. I say that as both a historian and as a sane, rational human being with an IQ above freezing temperature.

But what if? What if the discoverer of America really was a cantankerous Scotsman named Pedro? Why, just think of how that would change...uh...hmmm...I guess it really wouldn't change much. Though I guess we'd have the District of Scottonia instead of the District of Columbia.
