Why exactly did Muse decide to name the ship 'mobula', instead of 'manta ray'?
DMaximus:
They named it in honor of Count Mobula, the greatest shipbuilder the order of Chaldon has ever seen. He was also a vampire, but that's a story for another day.
Why do Powder Monkeys always seem to arrive in pairs?
HamsterIV:
In the early days powder monkeys carried both the blasting caps and the charge for the cannon in one load. Unfortunately powder monkeys would often slip on the blood soaked deck. If the blasting cap and charge were to fall at the wrong angle the whole ship could go up in flames. Now a days the common practice is to send two powder monkeys, one with the charge and the other with the blasting caps. In the event of a slip there is less chance of a disaster.

This statement is false!
The 6th mine causes the first to explode because the 6th is the next generation, the 5th mine says goodbye to it's fellow mines, before ritualistically exploding.
Cheesy Crackers:
The reason Pieman didn't ask a question is because of his username "Piemanlives" is secretly an old arcane chant used by the ship builders of the Mercantile Guild to summon up dozens of pies onto their completed ships. This was purely traditional until they realised a few years later that the pies were delicious and could fetch a high price. Pieman simply didn't want to bury himself in pies.
