A new pirate museum has opened in Key West called Pirate Soul. Some of the highlights include one of only two authenticated pirate flags in the world and the world’s only authenticated treasure chest. If I ever make it down to Key West this place is definitely on my list.

If you go, don’t forget to wear this shirt Arrrrrrrrgh…

Thanks Clark

Today I received the following spam message:

I like this definition the best:

A feeling of happiness stemming from running down an entire column of Hare Krishnas in your car, as first invented in GTA1.
