>clearing away the cobwebs from the thread<

I just recieved March's National Geographic magazine, and it looks like there is a show on Blackbeard for all of you with the National Geographic channel on satellite and cable. It is showing on March 12 @ 8:00 PM CST/9:00 PM PST. Check your local listings to make sure you don't miss this show! "The extraordinary story of the 18th-century pirate, who plundered his way to notoriety and drove teh colonial government to hunt him and bring piracy to an end once and for all." (from the ad)

Blackbeard looks interesting to me!
