What Happened to The Men Who Made a Deal With the Devil?

the devil sounds like a student loan

To be fair, anyone who takes a sponsorship from RAID: Shadow Legends has effectively made a deal with the devil

At it's core the story of Faust is not to warn of worldly pursuit- it was about taking shortcuts. If you don't earn the power the power isn't yours, if someone else gave you the power then it's THEIR power.

You left out the part where Paganini was imprisoned. The guards broke all of his violin strings but one. Paganini still played with one string. After being released, Paganini would purposely break all the strings at concerts but the one and would play amazing pieces using only the one string.

me: you want my soul? devil: deal, what do you want? me: I wanna go to heaven devil: I cant believe you've done this

careful mate, this video might get demon itized.

I made the same deal with god, and it didn't cost me anything. It gave me everything!

The Devils greatest achievement has been convincing people he doesn't exist

The thing with making a deal with the Devil, is that the Devil always gets the better part of the deal in the end.

Any musician that makes a deal with any major music label is basically making a deal with the devil.

I love these kinds of stories. True or not, I find the cautionary tales to be profoundly inspiring to fighting my vices.

It's worth mentioning, that there's more than one source that mentions that Fokke had made arrangements to have an established rendezvous with another ship in South Africa, that made the trips from the Indonesian Spice Islands to SA, where Fokke would then transfer the cargo to his ship, to then complete the journey back home. I find this explanation a little easier to swallow, than a mystic deal with Old Nick. Oh, as for Moulton, it was the Yank Revolutionary War he was in, not the Yank Civil War. He was even promoted to Brig-General by Washington himself, after the battle of Saratoga. Regardless, thanks again for a pretty cool vid Buddy. :)

He forgot when Homer sold his soul for a doughnut.

The flying dutchman, so spongebob was teaching us this entire time.

I will never forget his pronunciation of FOKKE. He has made sure of that. good job thoughty, good job

Great stories. And I love the presentation, kinda remind me of my dad telling me stories around the campfire back in the day. General Jonathan Moulton is actually a figure from American colonial history, rather than the Civil War era. He was born in 1726 in Hampton, New Hampshire, and became a prominent figure during the American Revolutionary War.

If the devil came up to me and was like “ya wanna make a deal?” Obviously I would say no, because his presence would prove that heaven and hell is real. Then I would just try to live nicely. Edit: woah chill with all those crazy comments guys Edit number 2: Jeez guys wtf it’s a joke CHILL

Everyone else : I want money and eternal life Fokke : Faaast

Regarding the fastest ship.. Having a multi ship transportation system. The journey was never fully traveled by one singular boat or crew but done by many. Drop off points and middle grounds were created in order to accumulate areas of stock that were then used for what seemed like faster impossible travel times. Most didn't have this sort of infrastructure nor did they want the idea to float about, it was an illusion of speed but in reality an ingenious idea.

Two wrongs don't make a right; but it seems there is a third wrong that cannot be cheated into a first right; Once you make a deal with a power beyond understanding there is no getting out of it but a second death.
