[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 7110162, member: 61026"] Do they make a lantern like that that works underwater? :) Bought DVDs online of Swiss Family Robinson and POC: Curse of the Black Pearl. Both arrived Thursday. Have watched POC. More connections to the setting: [sblock]Sparrow said Turner was Obsessed With Treasure? (There's a Fortune for that.) Sparrow was Marooned (twice)? Sparrow has a Magical Trinket that doesn't point North? Sparrow has something like the Casanova fortune? Sparrow is Wanted, and branded on his forearm as a pirate? Cotton is a Parrot Perch, Barbossa is a Monkey Magnet? Passing mention of Davy Jones' Locker -- similar to the Secrets of the Deep fortune? The governor's daughter needed saving -- similar to the Price of Freedom Bond? However, the first installment didn't get much into Haitian Voodoo that I noticed -- but it did mention Tortuga, which is right by Haiti. Close enough?
