Exaggerations...

Many times, a pirates life is known by many people. Sometimes, legends of them scallywags come up, that are a slightly untrue.. Blackbead for example was a great pirate, feared and respected by all. Some even thought he was possesed by sea deamonds lurkin about.. Others took things to an extent, and said he was the son of the devil... they claimed that when he fought, he became coverd in evil smoke and his eyes flashed red. Some of you might recognize this legend, others no.. The truth is that when he went to fight, he burned the tips of his beard to make the smoke swivle around his face, scaring his enemies. Also, he drank a jug of grog, and its said he even added gunpowder to it.. this really was a drink that only the strongest, and most fearless pirates drank. His eyes became bloodshot, and with the flashes of the cannons, he must have looked like the devil himself.. Well landlubbers, thats the lesson of the day.
