    I took the Blackbeard tour while I was stationed on Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. It was absolutely awesome!

    I've lived in North Carolina a long time. Nearly every house in existence from Blackbeard's time in the coastal areas has some fantastical Blackbeard story, including secret passages, wives hung from trees, blah blah blah. Legend says Blackbeard's headless body was thrown in the water and swam around the boat 7 times before sinking into the depths. Descendants of Blackbeard's crew still live in Ocracoke. There is an entire street of Howards in Ocracoke Village, all related to Blackbeard's quartermaster William Howard. So in a way the golden age lives on.

    His short career and death mirrors that of a modern day rock star

    Blackbeard, my alter ego! I'm an actor and played him in the film Son of Blackbeard. It was my favorite role in all of my 25 years as a professional actor. I wish I could play him again. Teach was very misunderstood.

    Didn't even realize this was on runner-up! What a cool vid to watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I know not what tomorrow will bring. However, i can honestly say today is a good day to be alive! I learned that "privateer, buccaneer, and pirate" are not as ambiguous as I had originally been led to believe. Very interesting!
