FDA, Bronners, and Coconut Oil

The FDA tells Dr Bronners to stop writing the health benefits of coconut oil on the side of their product?!

I quote from the Dead Pirate Society Anthem.

We do it for the ones standing up in the face of adversity

For those breaking the rules paid for by corporate conspiracy

and

Beware of corporate interests selling things rotten

Act NOW, so human goodwill is not so soon forgotten!

Derrotero and Rutters

I couldn't find a picture of this Derrotero anywhere other than "The Illustrated Pirate Diaries" by Alexander Exquemelin. "A remarkable eyewitness account of Captain Morgan and the Buccaneers."

The Derrotero was an earlier Spanish version of what became the English Rutter, a mariner's handbook of sailing directions. Captain and Krewe were under orders to toss weighted Rutters overboard should they come under attack. These priceless records of coastlines were passed down from generation to generation.

Ports and landmarks were written on the wheel in the order a sailing ship would come across them. More than one coast line could be recorded on a single Derrotero.

It looks like a wheel of chance from the boardwalk to me.
