This week on The Nose, our culture roundtable, we'll tackle "Columbusing," the act of believing that something never existed before you discovered it. Also, this week's biting episode in the World Cupmakes us wonder if vampires are setting a bad example.

What do you think? Comment below, email Colin@wnpr.org, or tweet @wnprcolin.
