I didn't. And it would be intimidating.
I didn't know this, but I am intrigued:) xo
I did not know. You could be a writer of trivia quiz questions.
Cool!
No, I did not know this.
That man was crazy! Good grief. One for the storybooks.
No, it sounds ghastly! Hugs, Valerie
I did know that because I watched a show the last couple of months about this dude. He was one to put fear into people...until he lost his head...literally.
EC, Yes indeed;)
Denise, He sounds like a fascinating fellow, doesn't he? xo
Uy no lo sabía te mando un beso.
No lo sabía . Te mando un beso.
I had NO idea, but I am not really familiar with Blackbeard.
I did not know that. Seems like candles might have been safer!
EC, For sure:)
Andrew, Heh:) Thanks:)
CJ, Indeed:)
Jamie, It's a bit of a surprise, isn't it? At least it was for me:)
Jacqui, That's for sure, but there was a method to his madness. When they realized who was attacking them, most ships surrendered.
Val,I'd say ghastly is a pretty good term for adding candles and slow burning fuses to your hair:) Hugs received and returned.
Birgit, Seeing him would certainly put fear into me:)
Elizabeth, Who'd a thought of that one, besides Blackbeard.
J.P. Sending you a hug.
Jeanie, I don't think I'd want either one. I bet he would have done well as an actor, he certainly had a flair for the dramatic.
