slight correction:

The Portuguese subsequently held control of Singapore in the 16th century, the Dutch in the 17th, but most of this time the island was occupied by mainly fishermen and occasional pirates.

Singapore wasn't established until 1819 by the English, but it was populated with pirates back in the 16th century! Way to go Disney for getting it right!

  2. By the way,
    I believe that Wikipedia has the complete story line for POTC 3, not that we would want to read it, but it is sort of cool.

  3. Ah, no it doesn't preciousssss. no one knows yet because they don't have the stupid trailer out yet!!! arrrggghhh. they have a little tiny plot thingy that doesn't really say anything we don't already know. if you don't want ANY spoilers at all, I suggest staying off the blogs as May 25th approaches. JK, if I give any spoilers I'll make sure to give warnings first.

    I know!!! Poor Disney. Can't people just enjoy the movie?
