Life as a pirate


Here's an interesting story about a guy who got a job playing Captain Jack Sparrow at Disneyland. The thing is though, that he was really into playing Jack in his spare time.

Disney warned us we were going to have a lot of horny women coming on to us. They were also worried about girls. I heard Disneyland had an Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She was very flirtatious, and they finally pulled her because men found her too sexually arousing and were acting out.


There's a lot of stories of how Nazi Disney can be and this is no exception. Interesting stuff.

That's modern detective work

This (here) is a story about a guy who found coded messages from his grandfather during WWII and, thanks to the generosity/boredom of the Internet, can now read the messages.

But it would be so boring

Justice Kirby, in all his awesome and fairness-driven braininess thinks that Australia should have a 'court TV channel' to ease the public oversight.
