Chapter 10
In this way, the Spics established colonies
throughout the New World, including Florida, Mexico, Puerto Rico, California,
and too many places in South America to remember, as well as a place called
the Philippines, which was so far away from anywhere that nobody else wanted
it.
2 All the Spic colonies were very Christian,
3 fMeaning poor as dirt,
4 Which was a considerable improvement over their old heathen days,
5 gWhen they had gold and pagan religions of their own and cities
and armies and a distinct shortage of small pox and other European diseases.

6 The conversion of all these peoples to the Christian way was the accomplishment
of Spic nobles called conquistadors,
7 Who had names like hPizarro and iCortes and jCoronado
and virtually annihilated, which is to say converted, native cultures with
names like the kAztecs, the Mayans, and the Incas.
8 And while all this progress was under way in the new World, the Atlantic
Ocean was full of Spanish galleons taking gold back to Spain.
