Ahoy mateys, it's International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Since I don't feel like typing this entire post in piratese(TM), how about a pirate related question instead?
Robert Louis Stevenson's 1883 novel, Treasure Island, gave us many of things we associate with pirates today. One of these is the first recorded instance of the song that include the lyrics, "Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum." My question for you is this: In that song, how many men are on the dead man's chest?
First correct answer in the comments section wins bragging rights...but no rum.
