Translation via Babelfish:



The complete article that you look for you are available only for subscribers

The lost island of the pirates
The Turtle has inspired famous book passages like 'the island of piratas'
ELPAIS.es - (So large 6 kb.)

Island Turtle, now looked for by cash miltares of United Nations, is the name of a tie earth to histories of pirates. Located to the north of Haiti, in the Antilles, with a surface of 180 kilometers square, their 27,000 inhabitants live on the fishing, the commerce and of the tourism fed by histories of filibusteros.



Glad I could clear that up.

Can you post the rest of that so we don't have to sign up?Or does it have to be excerpted?
Some of us can read Spanish.

That was a big help. I thought you were going to issue those new universal-translator beebers to everyone.

Aaargghh, matey ...

Did you have a Happy "Talk Like A Pirate Day" on the 19th?

I went to a wedding, but the pegleg and hook on my left hand kept getting me strange looks ...

Not to mention my $#&#^!! parrot kept yelling "Pieces of eight ... pieces of eight ... aawwkk ..." during the ceremony.

Yes, I had a great day! I was at the beach for the weekend.
Not only that, my friend and I got into his bottle of rum to celebrate.

Yo ho ho!
Now swab the blog deck, ye scurvy pajama dog!

It's NOT missing.
A Google search found that...
(t)here is particular concern about the island of La Tortue, which is said to be barely visible under the water.

I feel sorry for them too, but the poster of this thread is quite clearly exaggerating.

"wiped off the face of the earth"... Feh.

Yeah, that's a bit much. "Below sea level" is more accurate.

But I'm sure the Cash Militares of United Nations will make everything all right.
