Thomas Chappel started a fire as a prank on Charles Island (now called Floreana Island) in the Galapagos in 1820, whilst he and his fellow whaleship mates were hunting for tortoises. The fire soon burned out of control and devastated the whole island, contributing to the extinction of the Floreana tortoise and the near extinction of the Floreana mockingbird. Later on the same voyage, Chappel's whaleship was stoved and sank by a huge sperm whale, the crew had to use the whaleboats as lifeboats and were consigned to an almost impossible attempt to sail to safety. Chappel and two fellow crewmates eventually decided to maroon themselves on the uninhabited Henderson Island in the Pitcairns, while most of the rest of the crew succumbed to starvation, thirst and cannibalism at sea. 4 of those who remained in the whaleboats, out of 20, reached safety. Chappel and the other 2 castaways were eventually rescued, close to death. Chappel would eventually drown when his ship on a subsequent voyage sank. The whale-stoving was the inspiration for Melville's Moby Dick.

if you were to travel around the british isles in water, using only farts as a propellant, it'd take you a very long time.

The Island of Adventure (published in 1944) is a popular children's book by Enid Blyton. It is the first book in the Adventure Series, for me.

"It has the most appalling hotels. And the food, I can't even tell you. There's one place that serves fantastically fresh seafood that's not mucked about with. Tanroagan [9 Ridgeway St., Douglas; 44-7624/472-411] is famous for its scallops." ANY TAILLESS CATS? "Last trip I saw lots of them. Locals say they were late onto Noah's Ark and the door got closed on their tails. Really, it's just hideous inbreeding of the worst kind." |

For almost 100 years, igloos were displayed on the Turks & Caicos flag.
When the flag was designed, in 1870, the flag maker, who had no idea where the islands were, thought the two mounds of salt in a sketch he was given to work from were igloos. He added a door to them, and incorporated them into the design, which was not changed until 1968. |

In a forum where 90% of comments are intended as worthless, you're going to focus on mine and take them seriously?
What's wrong with you. Are you here to make friends? Struggling to hold it together and find me unsettling? Prude? Sounds like you're a wee bit vain and take yourself too seriously. Maybe I find the reaction of being peculiar amusing. You taking it serious is amusing. Some bloke on a gambling forum on a Saturday night telling me to socialise more... is amusing. Telling a stranger what they should be doing in their life is frankly dumb... you're dumb aren't you? |
