Corrected entry: When Elizabeth is taken aboard the Black Pearl, she dines with Barbossa. Barbossa explains about the curse, saying that the gods placed a terrible curse upon the treasure of Cortez. He is quoted saying: 'Any MORTAL who takes but a single piece from that stone chest, shall be punished for all eternity.' But, when the moonlight shines on the little monkey, he too is a skeleton. Monkeys aren't mortals, so how can the little fellow be cursed?

Correction: Mortal is any thing that can die. The monkey, just like the pirates, is mortal and would (if the curse had not happened) have died like any other living thing.
