Yellowbeard

- - - In the end of the movie when he comes back to life, why does he have joints in his beard? Nobody I know can even guess what this is supposed to represent. -I posted this on the AOL board some time back, but nobody else seemed to know why either (or if they did I can't remember what they said) so I'm trying again. - MC

Joints? I think you must be thinking about long matches. This was a terror technique supposedly used by the likes of Blackbeard when he and his crew boarded a victim's ship. The theory being, the more fearsome the pirates looked, the less chance there was that the attacked ship's crew would put up a fight.
