Capt. Sterling Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 As for my answer...ya, laugh it up, Feather Boiy! Feather Boiy? Are you referring to Hector? He wouldn't laugh at yer outcome, he would only shrug and state "why am I not the least bit surprised?" And likewise for Bess....

Misson Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Black Death...I think they have their centuries mixed up. Might as well say the Potato Blight....**shrugs** Well, there was the Bubonic plague in the late 17th in London and environs...that was called the Black Death. Still, I don't think they did as much research as they think they did. As I noted previously, very few people (as a percentage of all the people) would have died from bullet wounds. If they died in battle, it would have probably have been from infection (from various battle wounds) or splinters. Yet we've seen more lead poisoning than any other cause. (Either that or people keep entering different names until they like the result they get.) "George Lake. (Plague.) Sir George Lake (Dysentery.) Sir William of Thackery (Too much snuff.) Black William of Thackery (Syphalis). Damn!...Um... William the Black (Burned at the stake. Get it?) Pirate Sam (Powder magazine blown up by rabbit.) Sam Black (Lead poisoning from bullet wound.)

Might as well say the Potato Blight....**shrugs** Well the plaque did rear its ugly head quite a bit in the later years, now if it were the actual strain referred to as the Black Death, I'm not sure, but it is listed here and there even into the 18th century...

BriarRose Kildare Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 "In keeping with long and glorious tradition, you are burned at the stake." Aye that would definitely be me. Been there done that in a few life times. What can I say, me third eye always gets me in to trouble.

Cap'n Kisslin' Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Died like a man (i.e. from too much ravishing) And a big smile on me face, I'd reckon. I was sailin' the high seas, 'round the Florida Keys. Trailin' that merchant ship, the one I'd catch and strip. For she had me swag, and flyin' an English flag.

Sjöröveren Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Starvation. You were a poet and not a farmer, right? Me? Die of starvation? Never going to happen! It's far more likely that I would have been drowned by an overzealous anabaptist, or have been mistaken for a corpse while sleeping and quickly dissected before I could object. I am neither a poet nor farmer. I'm more of a 17th century Cliff Clavin. So I most likely would have been beaten to death by those who had simply had enough of my blathering. the Fool's Gold Pirates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
