Quote "When we were young we might have been able to claim ignorance of the atrocities that Christopher Columbus committed against the indigenous peoples," unquote. I have a feeling that "Chris the 'Bus" as he was known to his friends, never actually set foot on the land that is now continental...

Sorry but I have always thought of "going Round the Horn" was a reference to staff calling out checks, the "horn" being a loudspeaker. The most well known being the mission control for Apollo flights where each dept had to quote go or no go.

Now that was cool. Over to you Buzz, want to re-do your Moon walk!
