Subject: RE: Folklore: There IS an Inchcape rock
Hi,

leeneia: Were those photographs taken at that time in 1995? A friend of mine, also a geologist, wondered about the rocks being so clean and fresh in your photographs, but if those cuts were quite recent at the time, that would fit.


I noticed one source (Wikipedia?) described Ralph as being a Dutch pirate. I'm not sure in that case "Ralf" wouldn't have been more likely, but times were different then, I guess.

But it made me wonder: A Dutch pirate would probably have communicated in Dutch, so what we read here would be a kind of overdubbing. That's probably not that unusual. But are there songs/poems where a foreigner is heard speaking his own language (as well)?

Bye,
