On this International Talk Like a Pirate Day, one eyewitness 1 account of how science helps in all works of life, even piracyArrrrr.
Today, September 19th, is international talk like a pirate day. No, seriously, yo ho ho, check the web. Ya know, matey, anyone could be a pirate, all ya needed was a proper disrespect for authority and a willingness to be seasick 2 months at a time.But to be a truly successful pirate and not just the son of a biscuit eater, well, ya had to know a bit of science, too.
A good pirate captain had to know the astronomy to navigate 3 by the stars. He had to be acquainted with meteorology and know enough fluid dynamics 4 to make sure he didn’t overload 5 his ship with booty. And he needed the psychological skills to manage his literally 6 motley crew.
Your average pirate ship required a buccaneer surgeon to treat stab wounds and cat o’ nine tails slashes 7, and a swashbucklin’ general practitioner 8 to make sure the men had the right diet to ward 9 off scurvy 10 with foods rich in vitamin C. Plus, your pirate optometrist 11 supplied the men with eye patches. And of course, advanced veterinary practice kept your pirate parrots in fine fettle. So ya see, me hearty 12, no matter what your chosen path, science is sure to give you a hand. Or at least a hook .
