"Drunken sailors" have been removed from the lyrics of a nursery rhyme in a government-funded books project. But the Bookstart charity says the re-writing of What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor? has "absolutely nothing to do with political correctness". The charity says that the shift from drunken sailor to "grumpy pirate" was to make the rhyme fit a pirate theme, rather than censorship. "Put him in the brig until he's sober," has also been lost in the new version. This latest ideological spat over nursery rhymes was sparked by the re-writing of What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor. Complete story at - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/7860869.s…

Ahoy, mates! Two weeks ago, a hardy group of pirate poets and artists set sail on a voyage of hope. In search of gold and glory, they published a book of poetry and artwork by and about pirates. This book, entitled Raising Black Flags, is currently on the market in a "Special Edition" format which will be replaced in about a week with a published format complete with International Standard Book Number, ready to be marketed at fine retailers around the world! If you want to take a gander at the book, go to Blackbead Books for a preview. The reason I'm posting this here is that we are already planning our next trip! We plan on putting out another book by Christmas of 2…

Check out http://www.msn.com/ frontpage video story today! A gentleman from Argentina named Bernardo Casasola worked for over seven and a half years to make a model of a Spanish galleon entirely out of matchsticks! I know what you are thinking but it is incredible! The ship is over ten feet long, fully rigged, and complete down to the last detail. The thing is beautiful! If you get to the page after they take it down, search for the man's name in any search engine and you should get a link to the video of the ship.

Not sure if this should be here or not. Oh, well. Kept forgetting to post this. I enjoy watching Ghost Hunters on Sci Fi channel Wednesday nights and this past week's episode was the group of TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) out in California where they did a Paranormal Investigation on the ferry Berkeley and then the Star of India. I have to say, it was an awesome episode! They didn't catch much but a couple disembodied voice apparisions and a possible movement they believed was NOT caused by the movement of the ship. I've heard of stories of the Star of India being haunted. Apparently, those of TAPS believe it, too. T'was some good stuff they found. Anyone…

BOTH sneak up upon ye in th' dark o' night. BOTH target wee snipes when they come t' town (t' replenish he's crew??). BOTH have th' "somethin' for noth'n" idea (gifts, treasure, candy, wenches, etc) BOTH live seclusion from mortal man. BOTH have minions/crews t' do all th' work.

Okay... Someone said "Swashbucklers" was the worst pirate movie ever. But what would you say the best pirate movie is? I would argue the best pirate movie would have to be just like any other great movie--one you can watch over and over again. Where people who don't necessarily give a crap about pirates can view it openly and objectively, and still walk away feeling it's a great movie. I don't necessarily want to jump on the "Pirates of the Carribbean" bandwagon, but I would say it's the best pirate movie. It's well-made. Exciting. Good acting. Plus, the "cheez" factor is minimum, considering it's a Disney movie and based on a theme-park ride. Are there are ot…
