A Random story

A story a Ghurka told me on the fastcraft.
It should be titled " Officers aren't around anyways"


A battalion was sent to a secluded island to secure the region.
Unfortunately, the island was inhabited by a large tribe of cannibals.
Knowing the threat, the Commanding Officer, CO (highest ranking person in the battalion)decided to have a chat with the local chief.
After a long ardeous session, the Chief promised the CO that his village will not touch any of his men.
One week went by, nothing unusal was noticed.
Two weeks... three weeks,
soon three months went by.
Suddenly, one morning during roll call, the CO noticed that one platoon sergeant was missing.
Infuriated, he confronted the Village Chief and had another long discussion.
After a few long hours, the Village chief gathered his hunters and in a angry tone asked them,
" Didn't I tell you specifically not to eat any specialists?"


You know what... it isnt really that funny. I don't know why I laughed then.

Wow. POTC is Deep.

its frickin 1+ am, I was sleeping when this dawned upon me. I swear, everything just clicked together.
Okay, remember Commodore james Norrington from POTC 1?
When Will Turner made a sword for James Norrington as a presentation of his promotion. James Norrington, After recieving the sword, requested for Elizabeth's Swann's hand in marriage.
At the end of POTC 1, James used the sword as an analogy to tell Will to take good care of Elizabeth. So he keeps the sword, and looses the girl. The sword symbolises his duties and chivalric code.
However in POTC 2, Commodore is thrown out of duty as he AWOLS from Lord Beckett. (who wants to arrest him). During such a time, he abandoned his sword. As such, his loss of duty and honor is reflected as he losses possession of his sword. Along with it, he behaves rowdy and even treacherous. He even betrays Jack and crew for the sake of his job.
Finally, we see him again in POTC 3 with much pose and regained dignity. Lord Beckett presents him his sword again. Once again, as Admiral Norrington, he shows redemptive features of himself in his sacrifice for Elizabeth. In his dying burst, he stabs Davy Jones with his ceremonial sword. Metaphorically, his chivalry is back and is able to commit the ultimate sacrifice.
If that isn't enough, Davy jones used Norrington's sword to impale Will towards the end. The very object that indirectly connected Will to Elizabeth and to the whole Pirate saga, the very object of Will's creation is now the cause of his death. Talk about pre-planned destiny. its 0130. I feel incoherent and wasted.

Random Thought.

I wish I could watch it with you. There's noone more apt.

More Steam! Pirates

"more steam!"
"Welcome To Singapore"

Apparently, many of my friends are not taking POTC3 too well. Many of them are complaining over the fact that Singapore was not accurately portayed. The followings are their arguements.
1) Singapore was a British colony under the East India Company (EIC) , why is it so mystical?
2) Singapore was mostly Malay in ethnic during the colonial times, where the hell are the non-chinese in the village?
3)Singapore was not known as Singapore until 1963, before which was known as 'Singapura'.
4)Steam baths really loose their exotic appeal if they were really located in the humid, sticky, sweaty tropics of Singapore.

But we forgot one thing.
How historically accurate could a movie, which has a bad guy with an octopus for a head, be?
