Seriously, no joke. Blackbeard himself (well, perhaps it’s one of his “helpers”) will be rappelling the 30 story Wachovia building in Raleigh on October 2nd, 2010. It’s a fundraiser for the Special Olympics, just so you know, so cough up some doubloons and donate today:

Special Olympics North Carolina – Chris Suttle’s Fundraising Page

I’ve already tossed some coin myself – and with the help of Bilgemunky.com readers, I’m sure we can help Blackbeard make a serious dent in his $1,000 goal!

Yarrr!!!
