What's Going on in the Americas?
Did I already said that the American continent is drifting away from Europe?
That's the only good thing I can see happen there. Soon they will meet our Chinese friends face to face. That will be funny to watch.
One theory I've heard is that it already happened---- millenia before Europeans ever stumbled across the place. The "Native Americans" had to come from somewhere--- and the theory I read is that they came by way of land-bridge from the area now known as Siberia, crossing the present Bering Sea to Alaska, then down into the rest of the continent.
There's a story of Chinese coming here since then too--- by boat, early adventurers probably looking to make a few quick yen. Finding the earlier people already here, they don't seem to have made much claim of "discovering" the place since it was already discovered.
