Beatrice Delap, a nine-year-old student at Meridian Primary School in Greenwich, England, needed a little help.  She was hoping to lead a mutiny against her teachers, and who better to reach out to than a pirate?  Specifically the world’s most famous fictional pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow.  Fortunately, she knew where to find him–right next door, filming at the Old Naval College.  Beatrice wrote a letter, and the next thing you know, Johnny Depp–in full Captain Jack Sparrow costume–shows up at her elementary school.

Here’s her letter to Johnny/Captain Jack:

Captain Jack Sparrow,

At Meridian Primary School, we are a bunch of budding young pirates and we were having a bit of trouble mutiny-ing against the teachers, and we’d love if you could come and help.

Beatrice Delap, aged nine, a budding pirate.

How cool is it for Beatrice and her classmates that Johnny Depp showed up, in character, to talk to the kids?  I mean, it’s not even Talk Like A Pirate Day, and there he is, speaking to the kids and hanging out!  Sometimes, I think I don’t like Johnny Depp, then he does something cool like this and I start liking him again.

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
