Today In History: Mutiny on the Bounty

April 28th: After slapping Mel Gibson yesterday for Braveheart I thought today I would remind people of a far better movie he was in The Bounty based on the events that happened today in 1789. The real story of Fletcher Christian and William Bligh is an interesting one and has made for some great movies. Bligh’s account of the mutiny can be found here, it interesting that he was involved in another mutiny much later in his life as well.

    Wierd on the moderation thing. I would guess it was the URLs but the second came straight thru.

    If figured the URLs might be the problem, that’s
    why in the second post, I dropped the http
    off the fronts. Interestingly, the two URLs that
    start with www still show as clickable links.
