Now as we all know, vikings are better than pirates. But that doesn't mean that in the spirit of togetherness, we can't embrace our inner Jack Sparrow. Savy?

Here's a fun bit of pirate related facts.


On my great grandmother's side of the family, somewhere in the branches of the family tree were the Kidd's, and yes that included the privateer, Captain Kidd.


Secondly, the term bung hole was coined as a term for the hole in which wine casks are filled at. The cork stopper is the bung. (Thank you Mike Rowe)

Pirate fact: The national motto of Kalickistan, back before it got blocked at work and ceased to exist, used to be Avast ye hearties!

Þú efi minn forfaðir? Heimskulegur barn af a fiðraður köttur , ÉG vilja borða þinn andlit með a skeið frá þinn hryggur!
Hmmm.

Translator says, "You doubt my decendant? Foolish child of a feathered cat, I will eat your face with a spoon made from your spine."

Run moony! RUN!!!
