Master just saw Pirates of the Caribbean today...good movie too. There is a foundling muse on the birth. Scarey. ^_^

But anyways, here's her theory concerning Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and the Curse.

Shadow Chaser:

I think that Jack Sparrow is Will Turner Sr. In a twisted sense. I mean if Jack was Undead and boned, for all appearances, the dead don't really age. But then you can say that he didn't turn Undead until he stole some of the Aztec gold on his fingers (and especially when he was jailed and two pirates came to him in the moonlight). But what if Cap'n Jack Sparrow was Will Turner Sr.?

It could be a possibility.

Remember, they kept talking about the blood that was Turner's to lift the Curse and Sparrow wasn't happy that they were stealing this Aztec gold and protested. The men also said that they "killed" Turner, but they didn't really say how as they were inturrupted. Also, Jack was thrown off into an uncharted island, left for dead, and the rest of his crew thought him dead. The pirates also said that things didn't bode well between Barbossa and Turner which was why they had him "killed", kind of like things didn't work out between Barbossa and Sparrow.

So which leads to the case...Undead. Technically, if they're Cursed, cursed people don't usually age unless it is an aging curse. They're typically cursed to stay forever young or forever old. Check out the time difference and years it took for Barbossa's men and Sparrow to find the Aztec Gold. Surely it would have taken nearly thirty to forty years, enough time for a lot of things to happen.

Then when you look at the last few scenes, before Barbossa is killed, Jack tosses Will the gold Aztec piece and if you noticed, the piece was already covered in blood...Jack's blood. Will also added his blood, but the frame rate is too fast for us to see him cut his hand and why doesn't his hand bleed if it's cut? Which brings to mind that Jack Sparrow is indeed Will Turner's father.

Some family history heh? Makes you wonder about the beginning and Sparrow's attempt to "use" his son. Weird.
