So sad, such a good person.

it's amazing how quickly the "dubious theory" insert became embarrassing but had to be sat through in entirety twice for each episode. fry cringes to death each time

Pirate ships having strict rules isn't a surprise when you consider a lot of them were ex navy members who were essentially abandonned by their country once they were no longer considered useful.

Not a surprise at all, seeing as an inefficiently run ship meant the crew died in most cases. Even without robbery. Just because they have a predilection for being nonconformist doesn't mean they're idiots.

As an act of great pedantry, I must say they were arguably not technically ex-navy, most common was ex-privateer, but the point stands nonetheless

@@petecowley3481 Lots, maybe; probably not most. Plenty were merchant sailors or, indeed, coming out of the Royal Navy seeking better pay and fairer working conditions. The spread was diverse enough that one of the foremost historians of the golden age of piracy didn't make a distinction as to the main source (Rediker, 1981). My own less researched assumption would be that most privateers were ex pirates, rather than the other way around.

@@alexanderbrown8921 I suspect it depends on which side of the war of Spanish succession were on. Before the war, I’d say you’re right, but after I suspect it’s mainly ex-privateers. Perhaps some were pirates beforehand, then went legal, as it were, then went back to piracy, but given the length of the would it probably wouldn’t’ve been common

Missing a line to make it a limerick so it would have to be something like There was a young woman from Ealing, who suffered an unpleasant feeling she lay on her back and opened her crack and pissed all over the ceiling. Though I do wonder how you think a lady urinates if you think she has to open her crack to do so
