Is he… in the room with us right now?
by BigNo6 months ago

only the female scooters have a vespucci
by Anonymous6 months ago
People got fed up of living in Vespuccia.
by Anonymous6 months ago
Oof if only they know they could all have been Vespuccians. USV babe xD

I remember doing a school project on him in the 5th grade. He is why the Americas are called the Americas

Groundbreaking research there.

Bad PR. Next time, Amer should hire a better agency.
by Konopelskiverdi6 months ago
Or Washington Irving. He did wonders for Columbus and Paul Revere.
by Worried-Set49186 months ago
Baffling to me. America is literally named after him and they don't have a clue.
by Anonymous6 months ago
Do you know who any other country is named for? I certainly don't.
by jmaggio6 months ago
One country is not the same as two entire continents.
by Anonymous6 months ago
Ok then tell me who the other continents are named for.
by jmaggio6 months ago
We talk about him enough to know who he was.
by Exotic-Tip-80366 months ago
His name is too hard to pronounce.
by Brantlockman6 months ago
You can simply call him ‘Murgo
by Anonymous6 months ago
I prefer Pucci.
by Anonymous6 months ago
Probably not a lot of talk about Vasco DaGama either.
by Anonymous6 months ago
Glad his first name was used. Can you imagine the song: 🎶 God Bless Vespucci…land that I love 🎵 It just doesn't sound right.
by Anonymous6 months ago
Ahh, a name we're all familiar with whether we know it or not.
by Anonymous6 months ago
Who is this (I'm assuming) legend?
by Ecstatic-Employee6 months ago
And to think, if his parents named him Josh instead...... Would we be living in Joshland?
by Anonymous6 months ago
Josh is short for Joshua meaning "God is deliverance" so we are lucky it's not named somewhat after him. But almost every state/country is named after a person/persons when you break it down
by Anonymous6 months ago
In some countries of LATAM and in Spain, you can find many streets named after him
by Anonymous6 months ago
Maybe because he was a slave trader. He didn't name the continents. A German cartographer used the name on his charts, and it was picked up through popular usage.
by Anonymous6 months ago
Wait... so America is America cause some dude wrote his name on a map; which another dude just said "meh", and named the continent that on his map?
by Ok_Flamingo_85946 months ago
Correct. That's history for you, much more incidental than most people realize.
by Glad_Football59436 months ago
WWI (and possibly WWII, the much acclaimed sequel) could have been prevented if the Archduke's driver hadn't taken a wrong turn.
by Anonymous6 months ago
It's not that incidental
by Anonymous6 months ago
I learned about him in school.
by danikapowlowski6 months ago
I do. People aren't that interested most of the time.
by Anonymous6 months ago
That's a nice Italian name.
by Murky_Set_88426 months ago
I mean what a stupid first name, right?
by Anonymous6 months ago
He was excellent at shuffleboard.
by Key-Sign-31106 months ago
They should have named his discovery Vespuccistan.
by Several-Jaguar-23666 months ago
Wasn't she at The Oscars?
by Anonymous6 months ago
Except on The Vespucci Hour on Explorer FM Ameriiiigo, he got there first!
by Anonymous6 months ago
The American Pickers sure do, especially Mike.
by Anonymous6 months ago
We are now and we all know who you're talking about sooo......No.
by Anonymous6 months ago
Lots of us did in school. In the before times where schools were about education and not meat flap toilet issues.
