Davy Jones' Locker is an idiom for the bottom of the sea — the resting place of drowned seamen. It is used as a euphemism for death at sea (e.g. to be "sent to Davy Jones' Locker"); Davy Jones is a nickname (used primarily by sailors) for what would be the devil of the seas.\n\nThe earliest known reference to Davy Jones occurs in The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle by Tobias Smollett, published in 1751:\n\nThis same Davy Jones, according to the mythology of sailors, is the fiend that presides over all the evil spirits of the deep, and is often seen in various shapes, perching among the rigging on the eve of hurricanes, ship-wrecks, and other disasters to which sea-faring life is exposed, warning the devoted wretch of death and woe.

The waterbeetle brought mud from the bottom of the sea. It began to grow into an island. The water always exists the Earth gets too populated (too heavy) and falls back into the sea.\nNow this is how the story begins in the book. As if the birds and fish have always existed.\n\nHa, I found it!

this story is actually the reason why i don't believe the bible. for one all that water had to go somewhere. yes, people argue that it evaporated. but even now, just as it has always been, when the water evaporates it doesn't disappear. its still there just in the form of clouds. so wheres all this water at? and the 2 of every species thing is just idiotic...its almost like they don't want us to believe it by putting forth a story so ridiculous. i NEVER believed it. even when i first heard it around the age of 3 in Sunday school. how could you believe this?

The back of the book will mention the oar O. had to carry.\n\nRead the book, already! It's the best adventure story ever written. There's lotsa sex!\n\nAnd if you want to impress your teacher, notice that whenever O. takes a bath, the goddess -- or her representative -- is present.

well there was this guy named captain john smith and he sent a bunch of people to america (he paid for there ship and their supplies and all that stuff) to find gold and siver and find a easy way to trade with china and japan.then when they didnt find any thing they figured there has to be a way to make money.so they made a glass factory.and that made a little money.but then they found tobaco in virgina (which was where they were at in america) and they started to sell that and that made tons of money (they didnt know it was bad though).so then these people in america found out that they needed help so they went over to china and started taking people and selling them to help the people get the tobaco. (the people that brought the slaves over where called the dutches)and then 200 years later in the 1800's the south thought slavery was wrong and the north thought it wasnt so then they got into a fight and eventually slavery was mostly ended. (any question about this you dont get e-mail me at cool_dude6490@yahoo.com)

He didn't.\n\nIt is a cute story for children.\n\nNot an accurate historical account of anything.\n\nAnd not even original.\n\nThe story was taken from Gilgamesh, an old Sumerian folk tale that is much older than the Bible.

ooohh you had to bring up those 70's sea monkey's! What do you think brought me to Florida? Those damn sea monkey's thats who...They grew into 420lb. creatures no very cute I might add. The rumors started by the town folk in Pennsylvania and they all showed up at the farm at night with torches and pitch forks with the sheriff and the mayor. I had to put them aboard my truck and transport them to the swamp here for their own safety. I didn't have the heart to leave em there..they look sorta like sea horses. They swim with the manatees now!

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.  :)

They had a homemade wooden leg with just a stick at the end so they could walk....If your wondering why they lost the legs, lots of pirates were old soldiers, sailors with war wounds..Lots of Pirates grew up on ships and would have more of a chance geting attaced by sharks thus loosing legs and arms...Improperly loaded cannons blowing up etc. etc..They also fought with swords in them days and and deep cuts or infections the limb was cut off to save life...

its just an urban myth. some people say that someone in the crew hung themselves from a tree during one of the scenes in the dwarf village, but its really just a bird taking flight. sorry if i ruined it for you.

18th-century sailors started using the name for the evil spirit of the sea or the deadly depths of the ocean. Some claim the original Davey Jones was a British pirate, but there's no evidence such a person actually existed. Others swear he was a London pub owner who kept drugged ale in a special locker, served it to the unwary, then had them shanghaied to sea. But the theory considered most plausible is that the "Davey" in "Davey Jones' Locker" was inspired by St. David, the patron saint of Wales, who was often invoked by Welsh sailors. The "Jones" is traced to Jonah, the Biblical figure who was swallowed by a whale." \nIt's really anyone guess and what you believe in

The original was written by Mary Shelley. The main character created by Dr. Victor Frankenstein really was know as Frankenstein's monster...If I'm not mistaken he was never really given a name. if you go to www.kimwoodbridge.com/maryshel/essays.shtml, it will give you links and histories of how Mary Shelley came up with this idea, also if you like this particular story, Dean Koontz has decided to bring Dr. Frankenstein and his "monster" into the present, in a series of books, which I find quite intriguing...the first is called quite amusingly, "The Prodigal Son".  It gives the creature more morality and a conscience and more importantly a true name...but of course nothing will ever compare to the original story.
