Maybe if we're lucky our crew will have exclusive naming rights to any landmarks/terrain features we find on Uber Isle.

Well, with my engineering background and all, I've been tinkering with new ship designs, that can be used in the future. Its quite interesting, though you may call me crazy. One of the things Im working on is about 400 meters long, with a frame and skin made of a very powerful metal and a deck of a shapable stone i call concrete. Its purpose is as a warship. It carries giant metal birds that are flown by people off the deck to protect the ship and attack others. It will be propelled with a new energy source Im working on, much more powerful than wind or muscle, it is. It may be made into a weapon itself, I predict. It will have a crew of a few thousand and could sail on even the roughest of seas.... but, its all still on the drawing board. If you think that is crazy, I have this other crazy idea of a vessel that actually is made to sink! And it travels underwater!
Yeah, yeah, laugh if you must, but someday Apolytonia will have the strongest and most powerful fleet in the world!
As for the new land. The first city we find that is out of the prying eyes of our despotic, opressive government, I'm rushing a brothel house (a custom improvement in my mod). Im gonna need one after a long voyege with no women... are you sure ther is no room aboard for women. I think i might be in over my head.... no, no, Kman what are you saying. Just think of your brothel when this is all over with. You'll be rich, and have all the women you want...

Hoo-boy. We haven't even been out at sea yet, and he's already gone completely insane. Get some tranquilizers ready.

Lead piping....
got any extra? I might be able to trade it with the germans to get some apple fritters. The French love apple fritters, so I can trade with them to get some silk stalkings. Romans love silk stalkings - they use it to filter out the sludge in the wine I sell them. With some roman rope (good solid hemp of course), I can talk to the persians about the whale sperm. I don't know what the Aztec use it for, and I don't think I want to know, but they will give us some good glass products for it. Aro can make little animals out of the glass, and with these the Russians will give us some leather. Yes, that is where Ninot gets his leather from, but don't spread it around.... With the leather whips thePlagueRat will make, the greeks will give us some of their bachlava, mead and other honey products. The babalonians love honey, they often buy it from the Iroquois for lead piping.......
Never mind. Guess we don't really need any of that extra lead piping.

He's barking mad. Really! I once heard him babbling in his hut about spoons or something. "There is no spoon", that's what he said.
Get the straight jacket here, quick!

Well, I could build one of my brothel houses there, once I get my conglomerate enterprise up and running. I will be the most powerful pimp in the world! I will corner the market, and make millions of bananas. The entire industry will be mine to control. I'm merely having problems getting it off the ground, being a poor man I am. So I am going to sell shares of my company, to help get it off the ground. Are there any buyers? Now where the hell did I put my spoon! Damn it! Why cant I find my friggin spoon! WHY!
EDIT: OT (I think, maybe this is more out of character than off topic)
this thread is one of the more entertaining ones I've been on. Many laughs, thus far. I agree with the observation some one made earlier that this thread is longer than most of the serious ones. Strange?

We will locate your spoon. Don't panic. Just stay away from the armory and everything will be fine. And for Banana's sake, don't forget your medication... wait, we haven't discovered medicine yet. Nevermind, I'll just stay clear of you

But seriously what are you going to do about shark attacks. |
There is to a spoon! It maybe invisible to all you, but its there. I finally found it, next to the pink elephant that eats out of my garbage. Good ol' Pinky....
Through my studies of sharks, I've found they are accutely sensitive to something called electricity. You probably don't know what that is, but the babylonians use it to "electro-plate' things with gold, or to cover something evenly with a very fine coat of gold via an electric current. I believe they generate this electricity with what they call, a Bahgdad Battery. But I know an easier way. By rubbing a whole bunch (I predict about 357 kg would be sufficient) of amber together with silk, which we can get from the chinese, my calculations show we could generate enough electricity to keep sharks at bay, and whatever other sea monsters lurk in the depths of the unknown seas.
We can simpily attach silk to the oars, so the rubbing motion they make would rub against the amber automatically, protecting the vessel from sea monsters, if the oars are coated in metal, which conducts this electricity.
This electricity is really amazing, Im figuering out news ways everyday in using it to more efficiently purify my crack....
