apprently some schools have taught that jesus sacrificed himself for punishment to us and that makes ''judgment day'' supposedly for us and i was taught that he did it for sacrifice for us to have a better life....so i dunno here english schools taught he did it for the greater good of mankind and french schools been teaching that its punishment for our sins....
im pretty sure marie antoinette did say that famous line (unless u can prove otherwise, which is pretty much possible)
also, one of my teachers tried tellin me italians didnt have tomatoes until they stole it from the native americans (which im sure is bullshit)
and i sure colombus is spanish? i thought he was portugese??? (im not sure, but I DO KNO FOR SURE that if he sailed for spain hes portugese, or if he sailed for portugal hes spanish)

italians have had grapes since centuries before the new world was found, because there climate is perfect, and since grapes and tomatoes need pretty much the same environment (and tomatoes are traditional italian food), this myth is false i believe....
ps illuminatile, are u sure the facts u shared are false...because im pretty sure some of them are true...do u have sources?
Tomatoes originated in the new world, europeans believed it was poisonus when they first saw it. They are like potatoes, they were brought back to Europe by traders and soon became popular in many culture diets. Look up the history of it, there was no mention of tomatoes in Roman/Italian history until the 16th century.
