His name was in some of our NM textbooks. He is Christopher Columbus in Spanish.

@traveler@I hate to admit I clicked on this thinking it was a health problem

Same here. I didn’t know what it was either.

I hope all the past and present teachers on these forums don’t give us a bad mark for this boo boo.

Ha! I guess I'm the only one so far that had four years of Spanish in high school and four quarter in college.

I knew his 'real name' right off.

@SeaMaiden me too.I thought with all of the colonoscopy threads maybe someone got a diagnosis that I should explore...just never know who could be hit with the Cistobal Colon.

Looking back, when I was in Europe in the 70's or so, there were many statues scattered around Europe with a name similar to this. At the time, I didn't know who, but after asking someone there, I was surprised to learn that their name was 'different'. Or shall I say that our CC name is different.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

@dex My first thought was maybe it was a new form of colon disease ....

Cristobal was one of the names my DD and her hubby, who is from Central America, were thinking of for my grandson! He ended up with a very American sounding name.
