Hey All--

Ok, so a co-worker dropped this riddle on me, and I'm completely braining flatulencing(sp?) on the answer. PLEASE HELP!!!

The fertile sands of this Devil's Isle shore-
Where all is lost and found no more-
Sail the Seven Seas around-
To keep The Tempest from its hound......

Where the heck is he talking about?? He even went a step further and said I needed the longitude/latitude coordinates. Granted, we're always playing mind twister games on each other like this, but this one has me, and I refuse to give in.

Any clues or answers??? Thanks for the help!!!!!

That is code for "please come kick me in my nuts".

Now get over there and do as he wishes.

Devil's Island (French Île du Diable) is the smallest island of the three Îles du Salut located off the coast of French Guiana at 5°17′N 52°35′W. It has an area of 14 hectares (34.6 acres). It was a notorious French penal colony until 1946. There are many cultural references to the island but perhaps most famously, it was the subject of the 1973 movie "Papillon" with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman.

Jeez, I thought everyone knew that.

I hope you feel terrible when the guy makes a scene because he didn't get kicked in the nuts.

*Impressive that you know that though.

Thanks, yeah I didn't look it up on Google or anything. Especially not those coordinates.

Well - even SS can use Google. Loser.

The Tempest (seeing as it's capatilized as such) is a play written by Shakespeare....possible direction for that.
