Good F'n Lord. This place is deader than a graveyard. 1779. Capt Cook was on his 3rd worldwide sea voyage. Killed on a beach in the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) against the natives. An officer under his command retrieved his body and commander sword and returned it to his family back in England. Name him? Resist Google, retards.

Peter Pan. Most people don't know that he was the man that invented what we now call Peanut Butter and after offering it to the natives on the Sandwich Islands it just took off.

We're so sorry but we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But if anything should happen we'll be sure to give a ring

Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea and butter pie (butter pie)
The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie

Discovered by a German settler early 20th Century. Portuguese explorers sailed up the Congo river hundreds of miles in the 1480's and carved this inscription on a rock face above a major falls. Explains the mission and people involved.

CQ nailed it. Lt Bligh was the sub-officer under Cook. Retrieved his body and sword to return to his family
None of this is true

I blame Biker.
Re: History thread
Well not his body. You aren't shipping that back 10,000 miles and 18 months later. I meant his ceremonial sword that he presented to his widow.
