Can you name the three ships the monarchs of Spain (who also hated Muslims) gave Columbus so that he could find a faster route to India?  There used to be a replica of his flagship in the capital of Ohio.  Of course, where else?  I was lucky enough to see it before they took it apart and put it in storage in 2014.  They haven't put it back together because, well, people lost interest.  

Columbus was not Italian, because there was no Italy back then. After Columbus died in 1506, he was buried in Valladolid, Spain. Three years later his remains were taken to his family mausoleum, which was in Sevilla. In 1542, in accordance with the will of his son Diego, Columbus's remains were transferred to Santo Domingo, Hispaniola (now in the Dominican Republic).

It's always a good idea to shut down Congress for a day.  This year, even better, they did it for a week.
