A Town with a population of roughly 50,000. A great place to live if you're part of the Anti-Intellectual movement.
If by some terrible way, you find it necessary to dwell here, survival can be assured if you adapt/adopt the local beliefs and customs i.e. bigotry, racism, believing you are the progressive liberal upper crust of society and God's gift to the yokels around you or, conversely, an s.u.v. driving, evangelical, ultra-conservative/fascist/racist pig, Obese, neglectful of your children(emotionally or otherwise). A teenage mother or the 25 year old dead beat dad who knocked her up. Anyone who seems intelligent and resides here falls into one of three categories.
They are filthy rich and that makes swimming in this sea of stupidity bearable, or they are between the ages of 17-35 and are pseudo-intellectual hipsters who make fast food, pull levers for a living, or cater the locals in order to pay for their drugs, those most likely being methamphetamine or pot, as they are very abundant in this area(see looser). Lastly, they are the locals who never managed to escape the town and are most likely to live out the remainder of their lives in the area working at jobs they hate, congregating to the bars that aren't overrun by obnoxious hipsters (see douchebag) like Scores, to complain about their jobs. They seem to have I.Q.'s, emotional and otherwise, of no more than 85. This is due to years of broken families inadvertently as well as purposefully inbreeding. Youth in the anti-intellectual movement reproducing at young ages are currently raising the next generations of Colombians (see white trash)

Out-of-Towner: "Hey, isn't that the D-Turn kid? I heard stole Crest White strips because thinks he's a thug and got arrested."
Local: "Yup, that's the guy."
Out-of-Towner: "Why is he so fucking stupid? people like that shouldn't be allowed to breed."
Local: "Of course he can, he lives here in Columbus, IN"

An Italian explorer who rediscovered a continent that most Europeans at the time had no previous knowledge of, and whose voyages set off further exploration and colonization of this "New World," resulting in his being credited for its discovery.
Things CAN be discovered more than once. In general, people in Europe didn't know about the Americas before Columbus' voyages, and the resulting colonization means that most of the people living in the Americas today are at least partially descended from Europeans. No one alive today who says that Columbus discovered America actually thinks the land was uninhabited when he found it. The proper understanding is that, from a eurocentric point of view, Christopher Columbus discovered America, which is true.

An italian admiral famous for having discovered the Salvador islands in october 1492. He reached his destination after over 70 days of navigation, and erroneously thought he landed in the eatern Indies, hence the term "Western Indies" to refer to America (which takes the name after another famous italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci) and the use of "Indian" to refer to north american natives. Recently the image of Columbus was defiled by left leaning political agendas that labeled him as a murderous power hungry invader, yet despite this people always forget that without him the modern geopolitical landscape of the New World woudn't exist, including the USA. He was a great man who had the balls to venture through uncharted waters with the ever looming risk to never come back, and he deserves every bit of respect one could possibly give. Also despite Leif Eriksson having discovered modern Terranova 200 years earlier, he never created trade routes nor permanent colonies and thus his contribution to exploration can be considered negligible compared to Columbus.
Christopher Columbus' statue was recently defiled by a bunch of brainwashed rich college boys with guilt complexes

The day that Columbus set foot in America.
If you think he didn't, you're a moron. Yes. he wasn't the first European to set foot in America, that was Leif Erikson. However, Leif didn't make monumental colonies spreading across the continent. This makes Columbus the third person not from America to step there -- first was Leif Erikson, then Mansa Musa's predecessor, then Columbus.
And no, this day doesn't celebrate the deaths of native Americans...
History fanatic, learn history.
