Skull pyrate Carter

the one on Harbor in Fullerton, not the one on 17th in Santa Ana, Correct? Call me...

by what I know, Longitude was done by setting a "clock" on the time of their departing port. Then when they sailed they kept time via the sun. This would give them a time difference which would translate to how far out they were.

Okay, I don't know if this has been posted, and I know there is a messenger on Pyracy, but I thought I 'd post mine, and if you wanted to share, then maybe we could chat..

Has anyone of us actually been to the island? If the answer is no, then we are all being “CREDULOUS” for believe everything we are told without questioning it. Without any first hand evidence on either side of the argument, you are believing what someone else has told you, or you read, or saw. This could go on for ever, because there are two types of people, the ”Prove That It Is” types and the “Prove That It Isn’t” types. Without first hand experience, both are opinions and both are valid, and neither should be looked down upon and criticized.

sounds like our talks on religion, mate.

Okay some of those had me rolling.

A contractor dies in a car accident on his 40th birthday and finds himself at the Pearly Gates. A brass band is playing, the angels are singing a beautiful hymn, there is a huge crowd cheering and shouting his name, and absolutely everyone wants to shake his hand.

Just when he thinks things can't possibly get any better, Saint Peter himself runs over, apologizes for not greeting him personally at the Pearly Gates, shakes his hand, and says, "Congratulations son, we've been waiting a long time for you."

Totally confused and a little embarrassed, the contractor sheepishly looks at Saint Peter and says "Saint Peter, I tried to lead a God-fearing life, I loved my family, I tried to obey the 10 Commandments, but congratulations for what? I honestly don't remember doing anything really special when I was alive." "Congratulations for what?" says Saint Peter, totally amazed at the man's modesty. "We're celebrating the fact that you lived to be 160 years old! God himself wants to see you!" The contractor is awestruck and can only look at Saint Peter with his mouth wide open. When he regains his power of speech, he looks up at Saint Peter and says "Saint Peter, I lived my life in the eternal hope that when I died I would be judged by God and be found to be worthy, but I only lived to be forty."

"That's simply impossible son," says Saint Peter. "We've added up your time sheets."

I don't quite mean like that...It's wierd. Were you infantry? 'Cause, maybe that's what it was. I don't so much mean I wish I could hold it, I mean it's almost like when a person loses an arm and they still feel it..."ghost limb".

in the new movie "Jarhead" I think he makes a good point, that no matter what else you do in life, your hand misses the touch of the rifle, and how it never forgets that feeling.

Infantry active service, Korea 1995-1996, Fort Hood, Texas 1996-1997. National Guard for a few more. I'm glad I'm not in now, though, it's a whole different army.

one more:

A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected:

A half-gallon of 2% milk,

A carton of eggs,

A quart of orange juice,

A head of romaine lettuce,

A 2 lb. can of coffee,

And a 1 lb. package of bacon.

As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check

out,a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of

the cashier. While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk

calmly stated, "You must be single."

The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was

intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she was indeed single.

She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly

unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the drunk

to her marital status.

Curiosity getting the better of her, she said "Well, you know

what, you're absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?"

The drunk replied, " 'Cause you're ugly"

One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his fishing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out into the sparkling blue surf. He was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and the prospect of catching a fish.

About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach, trying to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed the fisherman sitting on the beach and decided to find out why this fisherman was fishing instead of working harder to make a living for himself and his family.

"You aren't going to catch many fish that way," said the businessman to the fisherman, "you should be working rather than lying on the beach!"

The fisherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and replied, "And what will my reward be?"

"Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more fish!" was the businessman's answer.

"And then what will my reward be?" asked the fisherman, still smiling.

The businessman replied, "You will make money and you'll be able to buy a boat, which will then result in larger catches of fish!"

"And then what will my reward be?" asked the fisherman again.

The businessman was beginning to get a little irritated with the fisherman's questions. "You can buy a bigger boat, and hire some people to work for you!" he said.

"And then what will my reward be?" repeated the fisherman.

The businessman was getting angry. "Don't you understand? You can build up a fleet of fishing boats, sail all over the world, and let all your employees catch fish for you!"

Once again the fisherman asked, "And then what will my reward be?"

The businessman was red with rage and shouted at the fisherman, "Don't you understand that you can become so rich that you will never have to work for your living again! You can spend all the rest of your days sitting on this beach, looking at the sunset. You won't have a care in the world!"

The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, "And what do you think I'm doing right now?"

I'm sure Red and I'll be there!!

That is one of my favorite jokes!

so, i finally decided to peek into this thread, and I found a poem with me included. so i blushed. thank you Rummy, you are too kind.

since i'm here, I havta admit I'm a bit biased, but My Red is the most beautiful. Then I'd havta say everyone else comes in second.

I have just added myself to the Map, but because I have a Mac, I can't see the map.

Oh well!

I use a mac, and have no problems. what browser are you using? and maybe you might just need to update some software or maybe missing a plug in.

I've seen a few posts about using Macs and not being able to use the map. I'm using a mac, running Tiger and using Safari. Works great. Try a different browser (i.e. firefox, etc..)

Grand Ole' Party

Is that all?

I picked it because I find the concept of their language fascinating, and Kanji really encompassed what I found fascinating, unfortunetly I just cannot find the time to study.

LOL!!!

Less see. I pretty much failed two years of German in high school. I mean I barely passed, two years. I made up a lot of words just to get extra credit. I would add a Die, Der or Das before english words I didn't know the German equivalent.

I spent two years in College, e seite anos en restarauntes aprendo espanol. Yo hablo un poco espanol, pero practico as much as possible.

I wanted to teach myself Japanese, especiallly the writing and I was starting to learn the Kanji, but out of the 4000+ symbols, I know about 15.

I can say hello, thank you, dog, and sir in Hangul (Korean). That's about all I learned after living one year in that god forsaken country.
