Blackbeard

History in the making: one of Blackbeard's 3,000 lb., 11 foot, 4 inch long anchor has been recovered off  the North Carolina coast! On the Beaufort Inlet in Carteret County, N.C., to be precise   (yeh, big was in back then) Righteous, man!
The anchor for Blackbeard's flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge, has been sunk since 1718. Queen Anne's Revenge has been found in 1996. The scientists hope to raise the other anchor, but it is stuck to the sunken ship.
It is believed to be a French slave vessel before Blackbeard captured.
5 mons after the ship sunk, he was killed w/ no mercy at by Royal Navy in Ocracoke Inlet in 1718. After killing him, they hung his head on the bow of their ship. (Kinda gruesome and kinda cool too)

Blackbeard-Queen Anne's Revenge
in all its glory!


As you can see Queen Anne's Revenge is a large ship. As I said earlier, big was in.  Everybody need to have everything. If you're rich, you've the money to buy big everything. (ie.; big mansions, yachts, etcera) 
Nowadays, it has changed. Things are more compact, more smaller like your normal ipad or smartphone, whatever.So the more money you've got, the more compact your things get.

The 'New' World

Forget Columbus-there was always America. Shouldn't be called New World. All of the explorers, which included Columbus, shouldn't have disturbed the Natives. They acted all high-and-mighty, striding in like they belonged there. Hey, get a clue! You ain't belong there! Go back to England or wherever you came from! Why must you disrupt the Natives' contentment, bringing disease and acting all cocky. So cocky that you cause 'em to become you slaves. And Columbus, if they didn't do your biding, why did you chop off their hands. Why did you guys invaded their peaceful life in their homeland?

Why do we even celebrate Columbus Day-the day when all rights ended for the Natives? Even the Natives deserve to be treated with respect, not to have their peaceful lives disturb by these horrible 'explorers,' who not only mistreated them, but thought the land they 'discovered a whole new land all to themselves. Well, guess what, buddy? The Native Americans were there first! You've no right to take away their land!

These so-called 'explorers' have been taken over since the turn of the last millennium. These 'explorers' were sent by kings and queens to survey the land or what they have of it. Back when they didn't have global warming. Global warming exist yet because of low population. Lower population caused fewer exxposure to lower rate in holes in the ozone layer, which is caused by high-tech gadgets emanating in the air (reception) and hairspray (aerosole). And I also think that's when the land started breaking apart from Pangaea. But that's just me.
