The 4 Cs
Holy cow, what did Europeans do before they had coffee or chocolate? I suppose they sat around and drank a lot of beer and wine. But these are downers, and generally imbibed at night. It's amazing they had no psychoactive substances to speak of when it comes to stimulants. Makes you wonder - with cocaine, coffee, chocolate, and chile peppers on the western side of the Atlantic, why on Earth didn't the New World become the dominant power and colonize Europe instead of the other way around?

But what drove them to make bigger sailboats? The New World had plenty of timber, as well as engineering ingenuity. Just look at the floating city of Tegucigalpa (sp?).
