I'm not suggesting changing it, but "America"- or at least the bit of it landed at by the Norse- was known to them as Winland (ya know, wine, vines). I think it would have been so much, for want of a better word, "cooler" if the continent had been called "winland", and not "America", after a one Mr. "Amerigo" who bragged to have been to the new world, but which actually later was prooven by historians to not be true. What a fraud! BryanAJParry 22:46, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)
