Ah, the Golden Age of Piracy. The year is 1747 and Amaro Pargo (one of the good pirates) is on his deathbed, reflecting back on his life of raiding enemy ships and giving his chunk of the loot to the poor. But, being a pirate and all, even a good one, Pargo couldn’t just simply leave his riches to his son or his sea monkey. Or so we assume this is what was going through his mind when he decided to mention in his last will and testament that somewhere in his cabin, a person may or may not find a chest. And in said chest, a person may or may not find some silver, a handful of gold, a string of pearls, precious stones of great value, Chinese porcelain, some rich fabrics, and a painting or two — your usual haul of hidden treasure. Oh, and there should be a book wrapped in parchment and marked with the letter “D” that includes an itemized list of all of the above. Before you charge your metal detector, we are sad to inform you that Pargo failed to mention exactly where his “cabin” is located. But we think it's here. Maybe. Don't hold us to that but we're pretty sure. Possibly. The search continues on a Thursday.
Despite our best efforts, the accountant told us that we could not start paying the bills in sea monkeys — it was still worth a shot.
