Ye hope that most of ya know that there is goin’ to be a new 4th pirate movie coming in 2012!! Possibly going to be about the fountian of youth of coarse. R =}

Yay!

woot

Just a thought mateys, but I’m of the notion that the only character who really knows where to find the Fountain of Youth in Pirates of the Caribbean 4, should be Mr. Cotton’s parrot.

Before you dub me daft, consider this stanza in a poem by Farid ud-Din Attar (c.1177):

"Then came the subtle Parrot in a coat
Greener than Greensward, and about his Throat
A Collar ran of sub-sulphureous Gold;
And in his Beak a Sugar-plum he troll’d,
That all his Words with luscious Lisping ran,
And to this Tune—’O cruel Cage, and Man
More iron still who did confine me there,
Who else with him whose Livery I wear
Ere this to his Eternal Fount had been,
And drunk what should have kept me ever-green.
But now I know the Place, and I am free
To go, and all the Wise will follow Me."

(the poem is from the Conference of Birds’, see link below)

Apparently, in Islamic culture, the parrot is a seeker after the Fountain of Youth. Not to mention parrots can be remarkably long-lived birds...

So, perhaps one of Cotton’s parrot’s former owners (I expect it’s had several) told the bird of the location of the Fountain of Youth before he died (in code, naturally), and so now, Jack Sparrow and his crew of miscreants must translate the bird’s gibberish catchphrases to find out how to find the fabled fountain!
