Pirate Myths Busted
Mythbusters (Discovery, 9 PM) will be doing a show on pirate myths next Wednesday, January 17. That’s so gonna rock. And in case you watch something else at 9 PM, it’s on again later in the evening, and will probably be repeated a few more times, so you have no excuse for not watching. Anyone who misses it will be keelhauled.
