Columbus didn’t think the earth was round, he thought it was pear shaped like a titty with a nipple and all…

I found it (the world) was not round . . . but pear shaped, round where it has a nipple, for there it is taller, or as if one had a round ball and, on one side, it should be like a woman’s breast, and this nipple part is the highest and closest to Heaven.

–Christopher Columbus, Log of his third voyage (1498)

Bear in mind by this point the dude had been at sea for sometime, so I’d imagine he was seeing tity shaped things everywhere he looked.
