Suspected inaccuracy[[edit source]]

"During or before his fourth incarnation, the Doctor travelled with Columbus on the Santa Maria, and suggested that Columbus plot his course with an orange and a biro, but Columbus didn't listen. (PROSE: Eye of Heaven)" Really ? ! Biros did not even exist in Columbus's days. Is this a cheeky joke by a Wikipedian ? ;-) __ [comment by [email protected], 19/01/2015] The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.203.41.54 (talk).

From your description, the Doctor is the one mentioning biros, so it's probably an accurate reference. Shambala108 03:12, January 20, 2015 (UTC)
