We're getting back to our roots and talking about a Caribbean pirate. Bartholomew Roberts, or "Black Bart", is one of- if not THE- most successful of the Caribbean pirates, and the dude sure liked making flags with his face on 'em.

He also gave us the code that only truly gained popularity when Johnny Depp talked about it in a Disney movie.
