Prince of Thieves

Pirate1The best thing about the internet (ok, the most amusing thing about the internet) is its eclecticism.  In school, I was quite shocked to realize that a google search often turns ups mountains of information nearly impossible to find any other way.  Of course, a good bit of filtering is required.  But then, when isn't it?  Anyway, I'm always keen to find unusual new websites, offering their assorted collections of ephemera and historical tidbits.  And the sites that aggregate those, well now, that's a find indeed.  So here's a new favorite: happy palace.  Its special gimmick?  Rather than longwinded descriptions like the one I offer here, it consists of nothing but pictures and links.  Brilliant.  And so much more enticing...
