Until next week, cheers.

Congrats mattrom - nice to vote for the winner (and thanks for the vote, seamus).

My favourite misconception (mentioned in that great clip, ginge) is the Columbus one; sages didn't say "You'll sail off the edge of the world"; instead they said "India is far too far away for you to reach sailing west!".

Thanks for the vote bbm2 and ginge for the challenge

Congratulations mattrom and thanks to ginge for refereeing.

Congratulations ,Mattrom. Thank you, ginge.

Well done Mattrom, thanks Ginge, and thanks to JWS for the mention!

What a pleasant surprise - thanks to Ixion, Dorrien, Aristo and Chrise for your votes, and to BBM2 for the mention.

Thinking cap on for next week,
Cheers.
