All hail the great and glorious
In other news, I finished that pirates book. Next job's probably to re/read those Neal Stevenson books. You know, the really fat ones ... best discovery of the book was not a pirate at all but a notorious whore of Port Royal, name of Mary Carleton, the self-styled German Princess (you'll have to scroll down a bit to get to her story). Somehow I don't see her getting her own documentary any time soon, though. Torture, rape and murder, after all, are fine entertaining tea-time fare -- but prostitution, bigamy, swindling and "fair high breasts"? Oh dear me no.
* OK, maybe that was just the once, but I didn't even get so much as one extra userpic to make up for the horrendous blinding inconvenience of having a broken Rich Text Editor foisted on me.
