Scientific Fact #2 You Are Too Afraid To Question

In November of 1602, Sebastián Vizcaíno was sent to map the California coast. Arriving on his flagship San Diego, Vizcaíno surveyed the harbor and what are now Mission Bay and Point Loma and named the area for the Catholic Saint Didacus, a Spaniard more commonly known as San Diego.

Spanish cuisine consists of a great variety of dishes which stem from differences in geography, culture and climate. It is heavily influenced by seafood available from the waters that surround the country, and reflects the country's deep Mediterranean roots.

One of the national dishes traditionally served along the coast to the visiting royal family (and thus having lost popularity in recent history with the advent of socialism) is the dish called "Punta del Mar" (sea point), commonly called "Punta." It consists mainly of grilled whale vagina - a reportedly delicate and tender cut, similar to veal. It was also Vizcaíno's favorite meal.

Not only is this the derivative of the obscene word "puta" (cunt), but it was also the spark for the "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)" joke translating the name of the California city San Diego as meaning "whale's vagina" (which is not true).
