Arrrrrrrr......

Blackbeard's anchor recovered off NC coast - Yahoo! News: "An anchor from what's believed to be the wreck of the pirate Blackbeard's flagship has been raised from the ocean floor off the North Carolina coast.

Archaeologists believe the anchor recovered Friday is from the Queen Anne's Revenge, which sank in 1718. That was five months before Blackbeard was killed in a battle."

As a recovering alcoholic who did more than my share of drugs, I know how hard it is to kick. I also know, as somebody who has taken friends to rehab many times over the years, how difficult it is for the families of addicts to stand by suffering either in silence or futile screaming. For me there was always an air of desperation in Conaway's face--and I mean early on too--and the desperation just increased with time. I hate to see the "Dr." Pinksys and the "Dr." Phils making money from these tragedies. May they rot in hell.
