Who Said it (10/4/2018)

I found it was not round . . . but pear shaped

I found it (the world) was not round . . . but pear shaped.

Christopher Columbus  — Log of his third voyage (1498)

I found it (the world) was not round . . . but pear shaped, round where it has a nipple, for there it is taller, or as if one had a round ball and, on one side, it should be like a woman’s breast, and this nipple part is the highest and closest to Heaven.
