Pirate, incarnate?

But Mark, a.k.a. "Minion Mark" is often seen riding his bike one-handed while cruising: one hand on the throttle, the other, resting - a bit regally it seems - atop his knee. And some say that's when he resembles Captain Morgan, the buccaneer featured on the label of Captain Morgan rum.

Now, we're not saying there's a strong physical resemblance, but the whole raised leg thing plus Mark's general demeanor just struck us as pretty funny at the time. So much so that we dug up an image of Captain Morgan and compared it to a recent photo, which frankly made us think a little software interpolation might be in order.

So check it out below, and be sure to grab the little scroll bar and "scrub" back and forth to see the similarities. And maybe next ride, watch him do the Captain Morgan pose.
