Guide To: PIRATES!!!

     " Today, class, we are going to be learning about... algebra: EXTENDED!" says teacher. **GROANS** Suddenly a big hole comes out of the wall, and a man walks out of it. The man approaches the teacher with a T-shirt that says, "I love algebra!!!" He tells her that she is ''greatly needed'' in the future. Your teacher grabs a pencil and spare paper and sprints through the hole. Your new substitute appears (see I told you no math) and gives you homework about pirates...even...though...you're...in...math class.

Well, don't worry, I have had that substitute before, and  I have made a guide about it because she gave us homework ...about pirates...in...science class (I wish it had been math)!

Now you must learn pirate facts... (all these wonderful facts from http://www.republicofpirates.net/LittleKnownPirateFacts.html )

Many pirates had eye patches, peg legs, or hooks. Ships in
the 17th and 18th century were extremely dangerous places to work,
and sailors regularly lost limbs and eyes.

There were pirates in Ancient Greece, and there are pirates today who
attack container ships, tankers, even cruise liners in places like
Somalia and the Straits of Malacca, between Singapore and Indonesia
