      I'm certain that the one what created the fake Mithrae the Princess Bride would love to see you pollute his intention by putting the dread pirate before any other pirate. Eye am the dreaded pirate Rodgers. Eye am Death what rises from the sea to walk on land. I come ,Death , I Conqueor for Love of my Flower, what is the Rose. You get me yet,I keep telling you to see Truth, and what is Truth, never a question. Eye Be The Giant. Am Here, He-Re. eL..U, Cee I Fre. Are you feeling it yet? Concept is prison. The puzzle box. No Theisim. No psyche. Conception, used as models for inception. Media-ites hermetic priesthood didn't believe in mind. We are Sound, immersed in vessels. What u" hear" is sound moving at faster than light speeds. You are entangled. In a physical form. Last hour,I Whstlr. No idols. You put your name in face on things. For fame. Vanity. For whom? Tell me. Eye am the Harvest hand. The feather. You are on a scale. Then to now. To whom are you Behooven? Who's your Lord. If you can't tell me that the only one that you are bound to is the Balance between life and death, you already lost. Payment welcome to the Underworld. She told you all when eye came, the Tower. Eye told you all in Babylon, Atomic. Atom, IC. Then, I saw the Stone. And now the kine can too.

    General William T. Sherman, who I really couldnt say anything about without someone getting pissed
    Confederate President Jefferson Davies
    Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, who commanded the first African-American Regiment in the Civil War
    Ulysses S. Grant, who needs no introduction

As someone who lives in the area hit by both Laura and Delta, and with Zeta still undetermined at this point, I feel like this snippet of the overwhelming year of 2020 would be a great topic.

    Bravo! I adore your channel, especially when you do bios of pirate-era figures. Making a historical boardgame about the age of piracy, I found it challenging to convey the topic. I've got some great notions and good ideas for the early-stage prototypes, but I'm still out at sea with no shore in sight. I hope you write biographies of some of the Spanish governors who dealt with piracy at the time, particularly one with a humorous Alonso de Sotomayor against Francis Drake incident or Blas de Lezo against Edward Vernon.

    Death by grape shot, buried at sea. Cant think of a more 'piratey' way to go than that! Alright then.

    While we are on the subject of pirates I think women ought to be mentioned as well.
    What ab't highlighting the stories of, ANNE BONNIE, and MARY REED? I think one was imprisoned or (later) hung for piracy. Both were imprisoned and put to trial for their crimes and debauchery while on the high seas. One of the women gained a lucky reprieve (as she was pregnant at the time of her imprisonment) when she was bailed out by a rich relative never to be seen or heard from again. This owed in part to the 'promise' of abandoning the piracy life in exchange for, the agreement of (quiet) reintegration back into respectable society. Thanks for the consideration.
