Also, a quote of the day, from the 16th century abbot Peter Martyr, by way of Hugh Thomas' Rivers of Gold (of which more anon, when I have finished hacking my way through it):

On South America: "[...] this continent extends into the sea exactly like Italy, but it is dissimilar, in that it is not the shape of a human leg. Moreover, why should we compare a pigmy [sic] with a giant?"

Have a cookie, Peter Martyr! But no cookies for Hugh Thomas, on account of his damnable apostrophes (and I'm not talking about the punctuation mark).
