Tables don't break well across pages.

Do you need to present the data in columns? Can't you use a "description list" or just normal text?

Code:

<dl>
  <dt>1492</dt>
  <dd>Columbus arrives to the New World</dd>
</dl>

Code:

<p><b>1492</b>&mdash;Columbus arrives to the New World</p>

Also, if there is no relationship between the two columns (i.e., if it's printed as two columns only because it fits and to save paper) it's better to present it as a single column.
