I'm still trying to figure out which invader was actually dumb enough to fall for this ruse. Surely they didn't just pick their targets based on the names right?
Nah, it was like Columbus when he fucked up trying to get to India. The secret is to never own up to it. It's why "American Indian" is a term and why the guy thinking he was going to the "green land", but found the "ice land" called it Greenland anyway
