The Mayan tour guide literally segwayed with the conspiracy theory.Thanks G.T. and Ringel. I had no idea they were around at the same time. For some reason, I thought the Mayan Civilization disappeared much earlier. I'm a little embarrassed about being lured into the 'mysterious disappearance theories.' I think I got suckered by the History Channel.
Admiral David Farragut, Civil War, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" was adopted by Captain (later Commodore Porter) at the age of 9 where his naval career began. He was born James Glasgow Farragut, his father was Jorge Antonio Farragut-Mesquida (Spanish), his mother Elizabeth Shine Farragut was Scotch-Irish. He was born and raised in South Carolina.I was wondering if anyone has come across any interesting trivia lately. It can be anything from history to the definitions of words. Anything. Recently I was asking a neighbor from Mexico about the Mayans. I was curious why the Native Americans in the area didn't have more of a history of Mayan Culture. She told me that while the Mayans had advanced science and math, that it was limited to a very few priests, and that the most of the society was a crushed underclass. She told me a bit about native people in the Americas. She said in Latin America, they did not import African slaves because the Spanish enslaved the native peoples who survived. Cities weren't even built by rivers, because of massive operations of enslaved people. I was mistaken to think that more Native Americans survived in Latin America. It turns out that disease wiped out just as many natives as in North America. More than 80%.
If I was rich, I always thought about driving from Texas to Argentina. That would be an adventure.
I also watched some youtube on Africa. I had no idea how different the continent developed. Without mountains, the weather patterns were completely unstable, which meant you needed a flexible society that take advantage of resources in multiple areas. This led to disaster when Europeans tried to create agriculturely fixed territories. I never thought about random weather systems. That would be a huge challenge.
Finally, some vulgar useless trivia. The male version of a camel toe is referred to as a moose knuckle. I heard that on Bob and Tom Radio. Anybody out there come across anything interesting, no matter how trivial?
By age 12 he was a Prize Master in charge of captured ships. He was made a Captain during the Mexican-American War then was promoted to the newly created rank of Vice Admiral when as a Flag Officer he took the city and port of New Orleans. He was promoted to full Admiral in 1866 after the war.

Scotch is a drink. His mother was Scots/Irish.
Scotland got its name from the Scotti tribe from Gaul.

Great name Roy Batty. I wonder if it was just the Blade Runner movie. Is Roy Batty a famous outlaw name too? It has a definite Texas Sound.
