"According to the Pastafarian belief system, pirates are "absolute divine beings" and the original Pastafarians.[3] Their image as "thieves and outcasts" is misinformation spread by Christian theologians in the Middle Ages and by Hare Krishnas. Pastafarianism says that they were in fact "peace-loving explorers and spreaders of good will" who distributed candy to small children, and adds that modern pirates are in no way similar to "the fun-loving buccaneers from history."

Pastafarians celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19.

The inclusion of pirates in Pastafarianism was part of Henderson's original letter to the Kansas School Board. It illustrated that correlation does not imply causation. Henderson put forth the argument that "global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of pirates since the 1800s."[3] A chart accompanying the letter shows that as the number of pirates decreased, global temperatures increased."

Yeah so lets do our it for gloal warming and talk like pirates!!!

"Tuesday July 29, 2008
Have you felt depressed since coming out? I remember being so anxious to relieve the anxiety of hiding in the closet that I didn't even consider what my life would be like after I came out. On one hand, I felt reborn and loved the excitement of finally being me. On the other, I felt lost. What about a relationship? What about friends? What about family? My frustration at answering (or in some cases avoiding) these questions led me down a path of sadness.

"When you're depressed it can feel like you are barely existing," writes Nancy Schimelpfening, About.com's Guide to Depression, in her article Top 8 Tips for Living with Depression. I knew exactly what Nancy was saying. She continued, "By obtaining the correct medical intervention and learning better coping skills, however, you can not only live with depression, but live well." At first I thought I'd never break free from my sadness, but eventually I found my way. ..."

"Man in trouble over sick note
12/05/2008 11:36 - (SA)

Johannesburg - Pulling a sickie over the long weekend with a fake doctor's note has led to fraud charges being laid against a Kempton Park employee and the arrest of the man allegedly selling the notes, Sebenza police said on Monday.

The scam was uncovered when a manager at car rental company Avis in Croydon decided to check all the sick notes presented by employees too ill to work on April 28 and 29, Constable Zenzile Murudi said.

All the doctors on the notes were contacted, and all but one checked out, said Murudi.

In this case, the doctor said the signature on the note was forged and pointed out that his notes were on white paper, not blue.

Police questioned the employee and he said he had bought the note from a man in Daveyton.

He was arrested on Friday. ..."
