The Life of Pirates
A nice website that tries to explain the difference between pirates, privateers, buccaneers, and . . . other *men of the sea.

Computer games are stupid. But Matt loves them. So we bought an X-Box and naturally, after my exam, I went out and bought “Pirates of the Caribbean”. I am really impressed with the graphics on the water. Beautiful sailboats, and beautiful sunsets. However, once one gets far enough in the game, it keeps telling the player that the disk is “dirty or damaged.” So, aside from the freezes, it’s a gorgeous piece of art. (Programming is an art, ya know. Well, *some* of it is, anyway. I liken “Legend of Zelda” to a Maxfield Parrish painting, and Windows programs to Picassos.)
Still, it doesn’t beat remote-control sailboat racing. Maybe someday.

I have no idea who Maxfield Parrish so, so all I’m saying is that I hope you’re not talking smack on Zelda. The Nintendo Mafia is watching. ::groan:: I ended up seeing that other movie instead of Pirates. It was um..Sinbad. Yeah! That was it.
