The Age of Discovery.

I made up this story when i was in bed
with a migraine, to pass away the time.
Hope you like it as much as i do.
Warning: it is again a silly one.



Brief summary of the above:
Vasco da Gama was sent to India with his car-
rack, a 178 ton, three-master with a lenght of 27 m.
The intention was that he was to replace the
incompetent Edvardo de Menezes as represen -
tative of the Portuguese possessions.

What happened?
