A praying pirate!

Listen to this, ye scurvy dogs!

Sam Brobst took a 'Learning Your Spiritual Gift' course at Full Life Center, a charismatic church, and felt the Lord leading him to prophesy during meetings. But when Brobst opened his mouth the first time, he and others were surprised by what came out: pirate speak!

"We were in the middle of worship, when this voice rings out, 'Yar! Hear the word of the Lord — the Lord of the mighty seas!'" says one witness. "It was straight out of a Disneyland ride."

You can read the whole story here.

Now that's the pirate church for me!

What does it take to raze a village?

Question
Hillary Clinton wrote a book some years back called "It Takes a Village" or some such nonsense. The premise was that it takes a village to raise a child. By the Pirate Parenting code, would it be "It takes a child to raze a village"?

Answer
Ahoy, Jib Master!

Excellent question! To raze a village, it takes one of the following:

* 100 pirate children with daggers
* 50 pirate children with daggers and pistols
* 1 pirate child with a REALLY, REALLY big cannon.

The important thing isn't the number of kids but rather the value of the village's plunder.

P.S. It takes only five pirate children asking "Are we there yet?" to "Craze a village."

P.P.S. If you fill your cannons with corn, you can "maize a village."
