Why is Columbous a phony?
Columbus is a phony because he got credit for what Amerigo Vespucci discovered. Christopher actually only found the Bahamas. Amerigo Vespucci really discovered America.

To find out more information about Amerigo Vespucci, or Christopher Columbus, send a message to my wikianswers username: allisonwilinski !!!!!
