What the Hell?

2 days after the Atlantis post, I was involved in a real estate transaction with a man who's last name is 'Van Couvering'. That's right, a true descendant of Captain Vancouver. When I asked him if that was for real, he said "yup, I'm related to the guy who gave rats and goats to the Hawaiians, thus destroying their biodiversity and then proceeded to sail right on by something called San Francisco." I had to laugh, because only a cynical New Yorker would respond in such a manner.

The world is a strange and comical place, no?
