    Does anyone have a good online resource of various folktales? I'm specifically looking for tales relating to the sea (as the entire seafaring tradition has a lot of tales around it). My collection's a little short on sea-stories, and I've already got the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, so that's not needed.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    The ancient Mariner has been illustrated
    by a few -Majorally Famous Artists 20century-
    so could still be interesting to for to see different prints of it.
    cant remember their names though......Dore?

    MobyDick?
    Joseph Conrad was a sailor -HeartofDarkness (apocalypsenow)
    DHLawrence-wrote a few great short stories about boat trips, people marooned on islands
    (typical theme- 2/3 people out of nowhere on boat-storm-truth twist comes out)
