I know this was in Pirates Magazine but I think it has merit. Do you think todays Outlaw Bikers (criminals) could be compared to the Pirates of the past?

This may have been mentioned before, but on Facebook, you can adjust your settings so that all the headings appear in "Pirate Speak". So, go to your Facebook page, click "Settings" in the upper right corner, then choose "Account Settings" from the drop-down menu. In the dialogue box that appears, click on the right-most tab, "Language". Now, click on the arrow beside the box that says "Primary Language", scroll down to the bottom of the list and select "English(Pirate) BETA". Your section headings should now all appear in piratey lingo, matey! P.S. I know today is April 1st, but I swear this is really is true. LOL

I just started reading this book. Antonia Fraser is known for her period works on Royalty both in England and France. This book is a, " deep well of diaries, letters, and papers from 17th-century England, the gifted historian Antonia Fraser gives the image of the "softer sex" a drubbing, plunging readers into the lives of "heiresses and dairy maids, holy women and prostitutes, criminals and educators, widows and witches, midwives and mothers, heroines, courtesans, prophetesses, businesswomen, ladies of the court, and that new breed, the actress." Sounds like a good read... Has any one else read it?

I had a friend, who knew I did pirate entertainment, suggest this movie. I thought I had heard that it was just a non-stop comedy, the type of movie I have to be in a mood for. I have discovered that while being far from serious it is an entertaining film.

Make: Technology on Your Time magazine has a special "steampunk" issue out, March 2009. This issue includes how to build a steampunk "raygun" (Pg 76: The "Discrete Companion" Ladies' Raygun), a Florence Siphon Coffee Extractor (a mad scientist brewing apparatus), a teacup Stirling Engine, and for the really mad scientist, a Wimshurst machine. Check your local bookstores, libraries, or www.makezine.com Just to let you know, I'm not a mad scientist...I'm not even a mildly upset one.

This is beta right now, but it's pretty cool. I made a road trip from Melbourne to Key West and it turned out a pretty good list based on the travels there. Punch in a starting and ending point, a genre and it creates the playlist for your trip. Very cool! http://www.amplifiedjourneys.hk/ -- Hurricane

I watched Yellowbeard on DVD on "Talk Like a Pirate Day". I was pleasently surprised by the high production values -- especially the ships. And the cameo by David Bowie was a nice touch: (Especially as his real name be "Davey Jones", and he's got a bit of pirate in his style:) What do others here at the pub think of Yellowbeard? Cheers, Hester
