Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

I just noticed that LJ has put little eyepatches on the username icons. Hee. Look: castalianspring - I have an eyepatch!

ETA: There's a nifty English-to-Pirate translator on the ITLAP website, for those who don't know a head from a halyard and want to pirate up their speech. New and improved!

Also changed by LJ: the posting button now reads "update Captain's log". And Frank the Goat is wearing a cute pirate outfit.

*sigh* If I had my way, I'd be watching Captain Blood and maybe even going out to the pub wearing piratical regalia. Alas, am stuck indoors writing about cuttlefish instead.

Hm. I wonder if anyone else in the department would object if I named the cuttles after famous pirates...

I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out. Cute.

And here's some cephalopod action for you... not squid, but a cool octopus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlGh33KtgpY

The invisible octopus! I love that video. It was taken by Roger Hanlon, one of the leading cephalopod experts based up at Wood's Hole. Lucky bastard.
