Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie

Question: This may sound like a silly question, but who are the pirates who don't do anything?

Answer: Exactly what they call themselves. Pirates who don't do anything, they just stay home and lay around. It's from a veggie tales silly song from an older release.

Would they be genuine pirates if they didn't do anything? A pirate is basically a person who attacks, and robs ships at sea.

Factual error: When the VW Van crashes, airbags pop out. This vehicle was built way before airbags were being put in cars. And no airbag would be that big and wouldn't stay inflated. Those airbags on everyday vehicles are meant to be inflated and deflated quickly.

Trivia: In the biblical book of Jonah, there is actually no whale that swallowed Jonah. The "whale" is a mistranslation of the Hebrew word for a big fish by the translators of the King James Version. Because of the prominence, respectability, and the wide distribution (it is in the public domain in the U.S., but not in the U.K.) of the King James translation over modern translations like the New International Version, the "whale" is what most Bible readers think of the sea creature that swallowed Jonah.
