  1. still not friday yet, right?

  2. i found this online...one of her many endings: Unfortunately, Mary and her unborn child died in prison of fever. Anne, however gave birth to her child which was followed by several execution reprieves. This is where there are no more official records. She was not hanged and she did not die in prision. At the time of her trial she was not yet 20 years old. It is possible that her father was able to help her escape as well as continue the repreives, however nothing is known. Here is one account of a possible 'Anne Bonny' who escaped prison: "There is some conjecture that her wealthy father bought her release after the birth of the child. This is one version of her life after the trial. Anne's child, born five months after the trial, on April 21, 1721, was named John Cormac Bonny. John Rackham seems to have been listed as the illegitimate child's father. After the child's birth the mother and child return to Virginia via South Carolina. There are some records that imply that she married a Joseph Burleigh at this time, 1721. It is guessed that this marriage was arranged by Anne's father to get her started upon a clean slate when she returned (one can only imagine the dowry required to get a man to marry a woman reputed to be such a wildcat). The Anne thus recorded gave birth to eight more children with her husband, three of whom died young. This Anne is said to have died on April 25, 1782 (which would have put her age at somewhere around 70-80) and was buried in a place called Sweethaven (possibly in York County, Virginia)."
  3. i'm totally going off memory here...i believe they tried to (or did) seek pardon for pyracy from rogers in the bahamas. some time after that they attacked several ships around jamaica, then got caught. i think jack rackham was tried in spanish town (called something else then) on nov 16 (my son's b-day) and was hung from a gibbet on an island just off the coast of port royal (it's now called rackham's cay). the girls were tried afterwards, & pleaded their bellies. mary died while in prison and is buried in jamaica, anne was eventually sent free. correct me guys if i got anything wrong.

  17. figure skater from belgium was just on the telly....dancing to the potc soundtrack...it was great! the anouncers said he was the first skater to get the audience envolved. i googled him and this is what i found: his costume (one of the pirate costumes): part of an interview: Kevin van der Perren is no new name in skating. He became the Belgian champion already back in 2000 and was the talk of the town at the 2002 World Championships in Nagano where he charmed the audience and judges with a tango short program, dancing with a pretend partner. Earlier that season he got silver at Junior Worlds. Having reached the ripe age of 23, he recently skated in the Stars on Ice shows in Antwerp for the third time, now as the ambassador for the event. As an IMG client he received the royal treatment and a hotel suite, to which he invited us to do the interview. He apologized for not being able to offer us anything to drink, but for the better part of an hour we had his undivided attention. A good portion of the time was spent laughing and joking, but he also spoke in his frank and to the point way about his career, the Olympics and his life. We laughed about the construction in front of the hotel, which looked basically the same as last year and the year before that, and would most likely stay that way for at least two more. But according to Kevin that wasn’t the Belgian standard, but the Antwerp standard, and he jokingly added: "Can you imagine what would happen if they ever had the Olympics here?" A lady sat at a table while we talked, busy gluing tiny sparkling stones on a red bandana Kevin would wear with the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" costume. "This is like my third costume for the season for the free", he explained. "Pirates" seems to be a very hard topic for a costume!" This last version of the costume is red, black and white with sparkles all over it. It hung over a chair, and after a close look I just had to ask if he glued all the rhinestones on this one too and he laughed. "No. I put in something like 30 hours on the last one, and the stones were still coming off. This one I didn’t do myself, but I like it so I’m keeping it."..... ......His programs this season are the "Computer game" short from last year, choreographed by Nikolai Morozov, and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" free. On the latter he worked with Diana Goolsbey. "I worked with her before the last Olympics. I like what she does; it’s a different style from other choreographers. And I was sick of "Robin Hood" after doing it for a whole year… I wasn’t sick of the music, just of the program, I really wanted something new." And already early last season he had the music picked out and knew he would be a pirate for the Olympic season. And Diana was just the right person to customize the action packed program."...

  20. dunno if this is inspiration or not...lol the nbc (national body challenge) website, under the "plan your excerise" tomorrow, asks for 30 minutes (or more) of cardio. post on what you chose to do!...and which single part on your body hurts the most. :)
  21. been to both...my first thought was nassau...they do have a small quaint pirate museum to see, you can "hike" to blackbeards tower (aka the water tower) and there is a cool little fort at the tallest point in nassau. the kids you can always take snorkling or the obvious atlantis aquarium. on the other side is a dive (and snorkle/snuba) center that is built on a set used from the old flipper tv show (stuarts cove, i believe, and they are GREAT!!!!). anywho...lots of things both kids and adults... jamaica..well...it's so large...guess it just depends on what city you're in...i spent a week just outside of mo bay...so if you want some info there (or nassau) pm me.
  22. awesome!!! i hope you were riding a road bike....cant even fathom riding that distance on a mtn bike! this afternoon i kinda cheated...didnt "really" work out....i practiced working out a fight (i do stage combat) for an up coming renn fest. but i would say i got at least a solid half hour slinging 2 axes around...does that count??? so if you see "fencing" under my excerise routine...i'm actually slinging around an ax...lol *waiting for my biceps to fall off tomorrow
  23. i can see anyone either...just the first 4...i cant figure it out either i just shot off an email to them to see what i'm doing wrong/how to fix it. said they tryto get back to you in a week. EVERYONE READY FOR TOMORROW?????? <----they are drinking water
