Jeremy’s FIngers win at O’Neals
This Scottish pirate, one of the most famous of them all, was hung at sea in 1701, and his body was hung in a cage over the river thames for two years as a warning to other pirates.
Pics of last week’s winners
Alright, well I’m gonna post some questions from Pirate quizzo on Saturday beneath pics of last weeks winners. One guess per person (no guesses if you were there.)
Off to See the Prison
Never been to Eastern State, so I’m gonna go check it out now. Or maybe go see the pirate exhibit. Got a buddy in town, so gonna do something touristy. Anyways, pirate quizzo was pretty good. And I think a couple of the rounds were some of my finest work. More info this afternoon, as well as photos of the winners. In the meantime, hope Adam Eaton enjoys his time as a Lakewood Blueclaw (which is where I really hope they send him.)
A little something to get you in the mood

The Dilly on Pirate Quizzo
- WHO: Me and You.
- WHAT: Pirate Quizzo, which will be very loosely based on pirates.
- WHEN: Saturday, July 26th 8 PM
- WHERE: Franklin Institute, 20th and Ben Franklin Parkway
- WHY: Why not? They are promoting their Pirate exhibit, which looks pretty awesome.
Other details: Yes, I will be hosting. The winning team gets free admission to pirate exhibit. Yes, there will be a cash bar.
WARNING: There has been talk of real pirates accessing the event and disrupting quizzo. Security is especially tight to try to keep pirates out, but we can’t guarantee anything. I would suggest keeping your gold bullion at home or inside your wooden leg. For more details, click here.

The Jessica Savitch Meltdown
My latest write up in the Metro is about local reporters acting nutty. The video above is the infamous Jessica Savitch report that probably would have ended her career had she not died just three weeks later. Here’s some more info on Savitch. And by the way, were there any good local reporter antics that I left out of the story?
Aliens Among Us
Former astronaut and moonwalker Dr. Edgar Mitchell claims that aliens have been visiting us on earth, and that they are much more sophisticated than us. “I’ve been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has been public knowledge, yes – we have been visited. Reading the papers recently, it’s been happening quite a bit.” He’s right, by the way. I’ve dated a couple of them.
