Speaking of--did anyone else watch the dramatization of
the adventures of
Edward Teach (Blackbeard) on the National Geographic
Channel last night?


No. Was it good? They'll show it again.

It was apparently as factual and accurate as any account of the man. It was
based on the written account of one of his closest crewmen who lived to tell
the tales. It was interesting, if a bit downplayed from the popular
misconceptions about the pirate. Unfortunately storms rolled in and I lost
my satellite feed at the very end.

went back to Ocracoke and got blown out of the water...he died...
