If ye be talkin’ like a pirate, ought ye be walkin’ like a pirate?

Avast, it be International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and we’ve seized this blog from that landlubber Stemwedel! We’ve run up a new flag (designed by that pirate’s pirate Pough), and Cap’n Free-Ride is drivin’ this ship now.
But, me hearties, ye know that there’s honor among pirates, don’t ye?

Hie ye off to read the Jolly Roger Manifesto of the dread pirate Beyerstein, who captains that bucket Majikthise.
Tonight be “Back t’ School Night” for the wee Free-Rides, where we’ll be promotin’ the all-pirate science curriculum. Avast!
Ye best be studyin’ that pirate curriculum, as a shortage of sea dogs be killin’ the planet!
Indeed, some landlubbers claim Peak Piracy be here.
GrrlScientist, a fierce wench if ever t’was one, asks what manner o’ pirate ye be.
That scurvy dog PZ Myers offers chanteys for after th’ plunderin’.
Should ye’ scurvy be gettin’ in th’ way of your lootin’, Cutlass Shelley be tellin’ ye how t’ make some Vitamin C.
