While editing a paper

While editing a paper for a presentation tomorrow i came across this quoute, quite possibly one of my favorite and the reason why the work Amanda I are doing is so important.

Even authors such as yours truly who have spent years in rare book rooms chronicling authentic pirates can't help but have a little Treasure Island/Johnny Depp/Capt. Jack Sparrow in our psyches.

I'm sorry but these little motorboats full of Kalashnikov-toting Somalis, ready to negotiate a cell phone ransom, just don't make for a good new chapter for Robert Louis Stevenson."”
