I really didn't understand this reference, but I wasn't sure that peer review was the place to ask....what is "Comstock and the Globe"?

Oh! I see now, it's part of your name rather than a question, or call to action.sorry to be so dense.

Well, no atch, you were right the first time.

It was an allusion to the most notorious sea-going mutiny story that'll still not be in the EG once this one of yours goes in.

The Globe was a whaler out of Nantucket in 1830-something. It was violently commandeered by Samuel Comstock. Blues Shark, me and Florida Sailor have all talked about doing it, but nobody has yet.
