International Talk like a Pirate Day

Today is apparently International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Think about pirates. Think about what they really did. Think about them raiding, killing, raping, and so forth. Then ask yourself if this is really something you think we should be honoring by emulating them?

I realize it's fun to talk like a pirate and that pirates have a certain glamor. The make good Halloween costumes and Kiera Knightley looks great as one, but this day makes little sense.
