Normally I read the 'On This Day' section of Wikipedia, it's a good way to stay brushed up on history and whatnot.
Anyway, like the title says, Blackbeard was killed in battle on this day (November 22nd) in 1718. I thought you scurvy sea dogs might be interested. This is the link to the Wikipedia article here.
Blackbeard and JFK on the same day? Some connection perhaps? I wonder if Oliver Stone knows?
