Neat fact! Thanks Factropolis. I found this sight by accident. I am researching pirate's for my class project. I am in third grade. I live in California. I am bookmarking this sight and I will tell my friends to read all the funny and interesting things and they can learn them on this sight. My mom let's me visit this sight because their are no bad words or bad language or sexy things and she says maybe I can learn something here instead of playing so much pokeman. Thanks again! Got to go to bed now. Bye.
