  Encyclopedia: Bermudian English
Bermudian English is the variety of English spoken in Bermuda, a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic.
To British ears, Bermudian English among those of higher economic status now sounds similar to American English, although there are affinities with British English, namely the pronunciation of the letter 'z' as 'zed', not 'zee' (also found in Canadian English), and the use of 'football' as opposed to 'soccer', while British spelling is generally followed.
Bermudians' nickname for themselves is 'onion' on account of the fact that onions were once a major export, while Bermuda itself is often nicknamed 'the Rock', similar to the Rock of Gibraltar.

 Journal of Social History: Slaves and Slaveholders in Bermuda, 1616-1782. . - Reviews - book review
In 1663, most Bermudian landholders owned fifty acres or less, and the size of the average landholding diminished markedly during the next hundred years.
Indeed, white Bermudians, unnerved by the discovery of a slave conspiracy in 1673, passed a law the following year to prohibit the traffic in "Negroes, Indians, and Mallatoes." Bermuda's male and female slaves, present in roughly equal numbers, married, formed families, and reproduced themselves naturally within several decades of colonization.
Bermudian masters, according to Bernhard, even seem to have grown disinclined to lash their merely recalcitrant slaves.

 Margarita's Bermudian Menu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Bermudian food, like that of many of the Caribbean islands, is the product of the combined influences of England, Africa and native cultures.
I'm not sure if any of the main dishes I've found are typical Bermudian as much as family favorites, but they were probably traditional enough for this project.
Incredibly, I couldn't find any recipes for vegetables (beyond Bermudian onions, of course), I'm not sure if this indicates a diet low on vegetables (which wouldn't surprise me, as they must be quite expensive if imported from the US) or that they're eaten in such a simple form that recipes are not necessary.

A local lawyer and his client are challenging Bermudian law in Supreme Court in an effort to level the playing field between adopted children and those born to Bermudian parents.
The law currently requires all adopted children applying for Bermudian status to have lived in Bermuda for at least five consecutive years prior to their application and to apply for status by their 22nd birthday.
Justice Ground told the court that Bermudian status was not “given” to children, but that they are only “deemed” to possess and enjoy Bermudian status until they reach the age of 22 when they have to apply for it.

 Revisiting a Mast-Aft Sailing Rig
Fore to aft sails must be retained for their windward ability, and the single-masted rig would be preferred for its simplicity.
The inner main-staysail will replace the Bermudian mainsail and perform a similar function in a more efficient manner, as its leading edge is not fouled by a mast and its foot not misformed by a boom.
The wind slot between the two headsails has been made larger than on a conventional cutter rig, which increases the effectiveness of the mainstaysail itself, and very importantly, the parallel nature of this slot produces a much more favorable interaction between these two sails than the ever-variable, triangular slot between the traditional main and jib.
