Today be International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Aye, that's right, such a day do exist. I've made a little quiz for all of ye to see if ye be a pirate who doesn't do anything. For each thing ye answer "aye" to, give yerself 1 point unless I say otherwise. Some of these questions be open to interpretation, just answer 'em however ye feel. (a true pirate attitude, yarr!)

Arrr, I found a surprise in me mailbox today. T'was a missive from home.

Oh, and I forgot something in the quiz. "Do ye wake up before lunch?" That changes me score to a 9.
