Robinson CypherPunk

====================================================== Q. How long did the real Robinson Crusoe live on that desert island? A. Alexander Selkirk? Nine years. In 1703, the old pirate got mad at his ship's master, one Capt. William Dampier, and jumped overboard. Slept that night on the beach. Next morning he hailed the ship, but the captain just laughed at him and set sail. It was the same Capt. Dampier who saw Selkirk's campfire smoke nine years later and sent a boat ashore. Selkirk was still mad. Madder. Took two days to talk him into going aboard. ==============================================
