The Days Of High Sea Adventure
April, 1770: Captain Cook discovers East Australia… and wastes a thousand words explaining it to everyone.
Don’t you think it got frustrating after a while? Here’s a guy who only wants to get back out there and enjoy the sea, maybe drink some rum and yell “yo ho ho” and regret it the next morning, and he’s got to sit in some stupid board meeting saying “Yes, there WERE trees, just like ours!” and “No, I DIDN’T see any tigers wearing armor having sword fights, your Majesty!”
We expect that after a few hours of “Yes, but how can this be used to leverage our regional synergy?” Cook probably wished he had a Panasonic 12MP Digital Camera around. The 25mm Ultra Wide 12x Leica Lens captures the full beauty of your subject, and the 16x Intelligent Zoom/23.4x Extra Optical Zoom lets you move in close without actually moving, and that’s the sort of thing that comes in handy when you’re close to, say, a giant reef that might rip your ship apart for seven weeks. But even then, if you were trapped on the beach, a Panasonic 12MP Digital Camera could help you take HD video and you could make a little movie. Seriously, seven weeks? Johnny Depp would have been out of there before lunchtime.
Anyway, here’s to you, Captain Cook. Not because you found the words to describe the eastern coast of Australia, a thriving metroplex of… well, surfing, maybe… but because even without owning a Panasonic 12MP Digital Camera, you somehow escaped a fate worse than death.
That’s right. According to Wikipedia, Captain Cook almost spent his life in retail. Way to escape, buddy. This sale’s for you.
