Captain Richard Pearson was the commander of the HMS Sarapis\n\n"On 23 September 1779, his ship engaged the HMS Sarapis in the North Sea off Famborough Head, England. Richard was blasted in the initial broadside the two ships exchanged, losing much of her firepower and many of her gunners. Captain Richard Pearson, commanding the Serapis, called out to Jones, asking if he surrendered. Jones' reply:        "I have not yet begun to fight!" "

An irresistable pirate, who unfortunately was also illiterate, entered the enemy's waters.  His illegal move landed him in jail.  At trial, the judge asked him to sign the court order, but his handwriting was too illegible.\n\nHe spent the rest of his life in jail.\n\nThe end\n\nCopyright, Sunflower, 2006.  :)

"[At Koroneia, Boiotia] is a sanctuary of Hera ... in her [the statue's] hands she carried the Seirenes. For the story goes that the daughters of Akheloios were persuaded by Hera to compete with the Mousai in singing. The Mousai won, plucked out the Seirenes’ feathers and made crowns for themselves out of them."  -Pausanias, Guide to Greece 9.34.3

John Paul Jones:\nSeptember 23, 1779, Jones fought one of the bloodiest engagements in naval history. Jones struggled with the 44-gun Royal Navy frigate Serapis, and although his own vessel was burning and sinking, Jones would not accept the British demand for surrender, replying, I have not yet begun to fight. More than three hours later, Serapis surrendered and Jones took command.\nHave a great night!

Nicolaus Copernik from Poland. It was known before, but nobody dared to say it. Everybody was horribly afraid of the priests of the Catholic church!!!

On April 30, 711, the armies of Tariq landed at Gibraltar (the name Gibraltar is derived from the Arabic name Jabal al-Tariq, which means mountain of Tariq). Upon landing, Tariq is said to have burned his ships then made the following speech, well-known in the Muslim world, to his soldiers:\n\n    أيّها الناس، أين المفر؟ البحر من ورائكم، والعدوّ أمامكم، وليس لكم والله إلا الصدق والصبر...\n    O People ! There is nowhere to run away! The sea is behind you, and the enemy in front of you: There is nothing for you, by God, except only sincerity and patience. (as recounted by al-Maqqari).\n\nThe Moorish armies swept through Hispania and, in the summer of 711, won a decisive victory when the Visigoth king, Roderic, was defeated and killed on July 19th at the Battle of Guadalete. Afterwards, Tariq was made governor of Hispania but eventually was called back to Damascus by the Umayyad Caliph Walid I because he did not authorize the Muslim invasion of Spain.

STAR LEGEND\nThe group of stars known to us as the Pleiades gave food for much thought to the aborigines. There are several legends surrounding these heavenly bodies. One is that the Kamilaroys of the North Coast were at enmity with those of the mountains, and a messenger had been sent from group to group with the message-stick calling a council to discuss measures for the protection of the camps. But the messenger had become enamoured of a young woman of one of the groups he had visited, and his affection was returned. However, she proved to be of the same totem, and a marriage was forbidden. Both the young people were very sad, and the man pleaded with the head-man, but all for nothing. He was advised to return to his own people.\n\nThen, like so many other disappointed lovers, he grew resentful, and at last determined to be revenged, and even then, if possible, to secure the lady of his choice.\n\nSo he went away to the enemies of the group, and conspired with them to show them the "pukkan" by which they might steal unseen to the camps of the coast lands. This track belonged to the priest, and led to a sacred spot where the Great Spirit could be communed with by the priest.\n\nNow, the first thing was to drive the people together, or by some subtle means persuade them to congregate on the one place. This was not an easy thing to do. The people were widely separated during the day, for some were in the bush engaged in hunting there or in obtaining those things from it that were needed to fashion all the implements incidental to camp life, others were still in the camp; many were down on the beach either playing there or searching for food, and the whereabouts of still more were always uncertain, for they were roamers.\n\nMany consultations were held; many plans were formulated; many tricks were explained; but at last it was decided that the messenger return to that group and pretend to have given up all thought of marrying the coveted girl.\n\nWhen he was back he sought the confidence of the headman and soon was received without suspicion. Then one day, having prepared and found a chance, he set fire to the bush. He had laid good plans for he knew just where to find the girl. He had seen to it that she was persuaded to go out of the way to get something that she wanted. It was to the pukkan that led to the sacred place. When the fire raged towards them they ran right on to the holy of holies. The only other people who saw them were women who were led by the guardians of young girls. These guardians were watching the girl wanted by the messenger. Now they were all frightened and they all rushed to the clearing. This invasion by women into such a place was against all commandments, and evil was bound to follow.\n\nHeaps of clay left by the priest were seen, and all commenced to smear themselves with it without knowing how to do it properly. They thought it would surely preserve them.\n\nThey were changed into witchetty grubs. They found holes in a moist and rotten log into which, as is the habit of witchetty grubs, they crept. They were shrunken into very small beings compared with the beings they once were.\n\nThe fire came on and on. People ran in all directions and many were destroyed.\n\nThen by the treachery of the messenger the men of the hills came down and they fell upon the rest and the beach group were nearly all killed. Only the denseness of the smoke prevented more of the mountain people from coming down, and those that did come were glad to hasten away to escape it.\n\nOf those that were not killed there was a priest who went to the sacred spot as soon as he could. He sat on the moist and rotten log and mourned for a long time. Then growing hungry he searched for witchetty grubs, for he knew that the log was a favourite place for them. He found first the woman who was the first one to change. He knew that group to be different from those he had seen before and he suspected witchery. He uttered an incanta

from my memory, NOT an internet seach, copy and paste:\n\nWhen Francisco Pizzaro , his brother, and a small army of Spanish Conquistadores arrived in Peru in the year 1530?, they were at the right place at the right time.\nPizarro had learned a military tactic from the conquerer of Mexico, Hernando Cortez, and that was:  Find out who the enemy of your enemy is... and make an alliance with HIM.\nAt the time of Pizzaro's arrival, in the mid 1500's, he had already traveled south through Panama and down through Ecuador.  Here he learned that the Incan Empire was at this time divided between Atahualpa (in Central Peru) and his half-brother in Ecuador.  The empire was already on the verge of Civil War.\nPLUS these facts: \n 1.The Spanish had the advantage of steel weapons over stone weapons at this time.\n2. They had cannon to resist bows and arrows.\n3.  The terrorizing effect of horses, and large mastiff dogs...against footsoldiers who had never seen such beasts before.\n4. The lack of unity among the indians. They were just farmers, ruled by their "god" on earth (The 'Inca').  hardly ever travelling beyond their villages.\n5. The prophecies in Indian mythology about "the arrival of white gods one day".\nNOW WE FAST FORWARD to the reason Atahualpa did not order his "troops" to attack.\nPizzaro appeared friendly at first.  And remember, he could be allied with the northern empire.  Then, he secretly lured Atahualpa to a little village with a wall around it called CAJAMARCA.  Here, he could easily defend the walled village with his small force of Spaniards, horses, guns, cannon.  He kidnapped and imprisoned Atahualpa and demanded a ransom of a room full of gold, and another room full of silver.  Why now, would Atahualpa order an attack?  Atahualpa knew that filling a room full ofgold and silver WAS possible, so just pay the guy and he will leave,right?\nIndians came from miles and miles around, all bearing gold and silver.  The rooms were filled as promised.\nAnd then...?  You guessed it. Pizzaro ordered Atahualpa garroted (strangled) on August 29.  (my birthday).\nFor miles and miles around the word spread that Atahualpa was dead.  And thousands of Indians, who were STILL BRINGING GOLD, hid their undelivered gold in a secret place that has never been found.\nThe story continues, but this is enough to answer your question, my friend.
