SUPERSTORM SANDY HEADING TO THE EAST COAST

Thousands of articles are on the net, hundreds of radio stations and television stations are following SUPERSTORM SANDY, which may be a historic event.  Listening to the radio this morning I heard that the streets of New York City are near deserted.  Most people are taking the storm seriously.  Electrical power may be distrupted, as is transportation services.  If you know of someone who is living alone, a senior citizen perhaps, or someone who is stranded and can't get to their pets, please contact that person before the storm hits.

HSI KAI THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PIRATE WARRIOR WOMAN!




"Hsi Kai was plucked from a Cantonese flower boat by the powerful Chinese Pirate Zheng Yi who married her-and she took command his already powerful fleet when he died in a typhoon. She was the one who built the fleet up to over 50,000 men and challenged for control of the S. China Sea-while some might attribute her success to luck, others would argue (and we would agree with them) that skill & talent were what made her so successful!"

What an excellent video!

THE REEF : BASED ON A TRUE STORY OF THE AUSTRALIAN GREAT BARRIER REEF

THE REEF, subtitle, PRAY THAT YOU DROWN FIRST, is an Australian film, based on the true story of a man named Ray Boundy, who was the only survivor of a boat wreck.  A group of people out for a pleasure cruise intended to deliver a boat, finds themselves taking the risk of swimming about twelve miles to Turtle Island, but in doing so they face Great White sharks.  This film is said to be scarier than Jaws, but it wasn't to me and it seemed to stop too short.  I kept wondering what was going to happen when they got to Turtle Island which appeared to be in the distance.  It was still worth watching though.

I thought about survival at sea and survival of ship wrecks and surviving on deserted islands.

The film was put out in 2012 by Lightening Entertainment and Screen Australia.

WOMEN CAN BE PIRATES TOO

So much has been made of mermaids as females... but not so much about women as pirates though there were women pirates and are some today... 

I'm celebrating pirates these next few weeks as many of us indulge in our fantasies for the upcoming Halloween season.

NOW THAT'S A HUGE EYEBALL!

GIANT MYSTERY EYEBALL BELONG TO SWORDFISH!  link here.

"Experts on site and remotely have viewed and analyzed the eye, and based on its color, size and structure, along with the presence of bone around it, we believe the eye came from a swordfish," said Joan Herrera, a researcher for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "Based on straight-line cuts visible around the eye, we believe it was removed by a fisherman and discarded."
