Leave it to Tumblr to rules-lawyer a curse. And we're not talking about a small curse here; we're talking about the infamous Davy Jones Curse from Pirates of the Caribbean.

    Text - O bootslots the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World's End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore who thought of that idea? who thought "put davy jones in a bucket of water" and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went "hey that sounds like a great idea!" at some point someone t

    Text - amalgarn ok but notice the trail of buckets behind him meaning he walked from the ocean through three other buckets of water before he got into the one hes standing in prokopetz It's even funnier when you consider how he must have figured all this out in the first place. Some folks are asking "well, if he can avoid the no- dry-land curse simply by standing in a bucket, doesn't that ruin his whole motivation?", but he's not on dry land here. The parley takes place on a sandbar - which, for

    Text - stumblngrumbl Pretty sure that this implies that the reverse - a bucket of sand, floating on the water (big bucket with just a bit of sand), would qualify as dry land. That's absurd, so l'm pretty sure that his lawyer pulled a fast one over the curse governor. prokopetz It may be absurd, but the text of the film bears it out. Davy Jones can sense the presence of his heart while it's at sea, but not while it's on land (indeed, that's why he buried it on land in the first place: to break hi

    Text - prokopetz Not necessarily. It's traditionally a lot easier to accidentally get whammied by a curse than it is to weasel around it I figure that's why he's using multiple layers of indirection here. He's forbidden to set foot on dry land, but it's technically not dry land (it's a sandbar, a non-permanent landform exposed only at low tide) and he technically didn't set foot on it (he's standing in a bucket of water). It's entirely possible that either one of those things alone wouldn't make

    Text - there-was-a-girl No matter how ridiculous PotC gets I will love it. Especially when it results in conversations like this glumshoe What if he crawls around on his hands and knees, with his feet raised slightly into the air? Can he walk on his hands? Can he ride around in a litter or a wheelchair? princedorkface can he be in a wheelbarrow?

    Text - bemusedlybespectacled What if he flies over dry land? Like in a hot air balloon, or in the claws of a giant bird? pantheraj What if he's carried by two swallows using a strand of creeper? strikelikeahawk European swallows or African swallows? grednforgesgirl this whole thread reads like a conversation between these two: In fact im not entirely sure that it wasn't their idea in the first place
