Why are Pirates called Pirates?

Because they ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!

LOVE IT!
Treasure Island has got to be one of the best stories ever written!

I loved the recent TV adaptation with Eddie Izard, but I have just received the classic 1950 film with Robert Newton as Long John Silver.

Blind Pew used to frighten the life out of me, nothing has changed!!

Clearly this version is also nearer to the
original book, Black Spots and all!

Captain Jack Sparrow?

Never heard of him!
