OK, this is a heads-up people. It’s just over a week to International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Time to get the eye-patches & wooden legs out of storage, get yer pirattitude on and brush up on yer pirate lingo.

If ye don’t know what I’m yabberin’ about me hearties, then ye better be goin’ here. Learn how to talk like a pirate, what it be all about (hint: NOTHING SENSIBLE) and all the best pirate pick-up lines (such as the effective yet subtle “Prepare to be boarded!”).

Lest ye think it’s all silliness, let me refer ye to this important data on the official Flying Spaghetti Monster site which plots the decline in pirate numbers against global warming:

So ye can see it be all scientific-like: by being pirattical, ye may well be helping the environment. For me own part, on the Big Day I will be answerin’ the telephone as Cap’n Pete, keepin’ a plentiful supply of grog on hand and working all day with my pirate keyboard:

So ye lice-infested bilge rats, go find yerselves a parrot and ye proper pirate name, prepare to hoist the Jolly Roger and say after me: “Arrrrr!!”

Traces of Nuts?

This on a prescription for sleeping pills. I think that with sleeping pills you’re kind of hoping that they will cause at least a certain amount of drowsiness otherwise they may as well be called ‘Nothing’ pills. The pharmacist didn’t find this amusing in the least. “Oh, it’s just the law“, she says. “Yes, I realise that, but it’s funny“, says I…

Oh well.

Russia Makes It Funny

On a whim, I typed “unusual thing” into Google and got this page on a site called Russia Makes It Funny – Link

Women’s panties with alarm appear soon

An unusual thing was invented by Serbian Slavomir Adamovic. Ladies panties with an alarm will appear soon. As it is well-known, sexual abuse against women is rather frequent in offices. The invention will emit loud peeps every time its owner is pinched at her butt.

The inventor hopes, such unexpected sounds will cool sexually concerned men in the office and will make office a safer place, free from sexual terror. Slavomir Adamovic says, the panties peep because of a micro chip embedded into underwear and emits sounds when being pressed, or when areas close to the underwear are pressed.

What can I say? Slavomir, you’re a genius.
