I'd never take a ride on those boats out to sea, they look like the Black Pearl or even worse!

The Black Pearl is the fastest ship ever in its era (in the movies at least). It is also extremely menacing looking with the tall deck and many many many deck guns and cannons, not mentioning the infamous black sail. So those pathetic boats should not be compared to the Black Pearl. Captain Jack Sparrow will not be too happy about that comparison :eek::D

Perhaps I should compare it to the horror of the Black Pearl's sailors, especially when the moon is up!

Sorry for messing with you, but the black pearl sailors are also way cooler. They can never die and can walk on the bottom of the ocean. I don't thnk those boats can come back up to the surface if you ever put them on the bottom of the ocean. Also, the sailors can dodge swords in the moon light. All if would take is one little pinky push to kill those boats.

The undead sailors of the Black Pearl live to suffer and make more sin. The only sailor of the Black Pearl who is cool is Captain Jack Sparrow though his manner is a little girly. Who said those sailors won't die? Captain Hector Barbossa was killed by Jack Sparrow and the other sailors had to drop their weapon and surrendered. I think Elizabeth Swann should have married Jack Sparrow rather than Will Turner.

I agree that Swan had more chemistry with Captain Jack than with Will Turner. Turner was just no fun.

And those sailors became mortal only when the curse was broken. As soon as someone took a coin, they would go back to their cool skeleton selves.

I remember when I was a kid my cousin would taught me how to make these orgamy paper ball to play with. You fold the paper and blow into the hole and it expand. Of course it's not as solid, but fun to play with. And now I forgot how to do it.:eek:
