My favorite part though is that according to legend:

* Blackbeard had 14 wives.

* He shot the kneecaps off his own lieutenants to remind his crew who was in charge.

* He locked himself and crew in a cabin filled with burning sulphur - a “pirates hell” - till the crew cried for mercy, and he proved he was tougher than they were.

* He lit slow-burning cannon wicks hanging under his hat to shroud his face in smoke and terrorize his victims (or hide his identity).

* He never killed a victim. (They were so afraid, they always gave up without a fight.)

* He withstood over 30 gunshot and sword wounds before dying on the deck of the Ranger.

* His decapitated body swam 3 times around the Ranger before it sank.

Yeah, Captain Dams, but did he ever roll down a staircase in a mattress? I think not! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

How can you know that? After all that shocking things we know about him, it would be no surprise if he did that. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
