Dead Man's Chest

Have you ever wondered about the song "15 Men on a Dead Man's Chest"? The chorus originated in Robert Louis Stevenson's story Treasure Island.
Fifteen men on the dead man's chest
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

But how could you fit that many men on a chest, whether the torso of a corpse or the luggage that belonged to him? Because the dead man's chest is an island in the Caribbean! Dead Chest Island {wiki} has no fresh water or trees, and little vegetation. The story is that pirate Edward Teach (also known as Blackbeard) marooned a mutinous crew on the island, with only a cutlass and a bottle of rum each. Thinking they would kill each other, he was surprised to find fifteen survivors when he returned a month later! Link -via Dark Roasted Blend
