why the FUCK are there nine fuclong pieces fo EIGHT im going to break somefintg #substance #ABCC
be(ause if the7 were pie(es of nine, the7'd need ten of them
A piece of eight is a Spanish dollar. Merchants used to literally cut them up to make change, one Spanish dollar was equal to 8 reale. There were nine pirate lords, and they were supposed to include their Spanish dollar for the ritual, but they were broke as shit so they used their trinkets in place of the eight.
i like m7 answer better
Sure for a "funny haha" answer, but in terms of the actual history behind why the pirates had "nine pieces of eight," my answer is not only better. It is correct. The pirates even explain it in the movie, but I don't want to assume you have the media literacy to catch it.
what a weird spike in hostilit7. 7eah, i (aught the thing the7 full on said straight to (amera with a lingering series of shots on all the things that weren't pie(es of eight to drive the point home, whi(h in(luded a running gag from all three movies up to that point. i thought it was prett7 (lear i was making a joke?
I would not call that hostile. Also, yes, I could see that it was a joke. I literally mentioned that it was a good joke response in my message. That I think you read? At any rate, it seemed like a joke response wasn't what this post was looking for.
