am tempted to flout convention and give you that for the visual gag. but not that tempted.
bear in mind that piracy was a hugely dangerous lifestyle and much time was spent in choppy seas.

right, so there was a likelihood that they would be lost at sea.

so did they were gold earrings in the belief that they needed to pay to get into heaven?

shiver me timbers. you are mighty close me handsome. just missing one link.
you wouldn't get to heaven unless...

so you used to the earrings to pay for your funeral???

or a coffin...

though surely if you were lost at sea, they'd never find your body anyway?

correct, if your corpse was washed ashore your gold earrings would pay for a dignified burial and your safe passage to the afterlife.

Cheers, me old salty sea-dog.

Right, back to the World Cup, and following on from tka's question the other day...

Which is the only team to have none of its players playing in its national league?

Not all of them!

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:11 pm

his may be from left field but perhaps argentina?

It's not the answer I have on my card.

If I wasn't at work, I'd actually go and find out whom out the teams that you've mentioned actually play in their own country.

paraguay?

Ghana?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:38 pm

nope and nope.

for all you quiz fiends, there's quite a good quiz on the BBC website about the World Cup. I've just gone Iran and lost 4-0 to England in the Quarters
