>>> How could you forget Maddox?

It’s easy when he only updates his page once a year, and they tend to just be warmed over anti-Apple screeds, these days.

The Loose Change parody was good, though. I really despise 9/11 conspiracy theorists.

Q: Why does a pirate wear a black eyepatch?

A: So he can see better in the dark.

It works too and it’s a really weird sensation. :-O

In the movie Scooby-Doo: Pirates Ahoy, the pirates actually needed help from an astronomer, as the only clue to where the treasure was hidden was a painting showing constellations visible from the spot.
Now send all those blige rats who be callin’ themselves CTs to walk the plank!
(Yes, I know that real pirates never actually walked the plank)
