“Once in India a very old yogi came to the cremation grounds. Upon a funeral pyre was a young man’s body, ready to be cremated. The old man cried out, ‘Stop! I need that body.’ And even as he said it, the young man’s form, enlivened by the spirit of the yogi, jumped up from the pyre and the saint’s old body fell dead.

Unlike later pirates, buccaneers were known for large, organized crews that attacked land-based strongholds and coastal cities, not just ships at sea.”

AI: “Buccaneers were 17th-century pirates and privateers, primarily English, French, and Dutch, who specialized in attacking Spanish ships and coastal settlements in the Caribbean.
