Sad news. The 19th century clipper The Cutty Sark caught fire and burned out of control. Police are treating the fire as “suspicious”.

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
I have a model kit of that in my basement!
I’ll assemble the model and put in the the water, it’ll be a fitting tribute!

That is really terrible. What a beautiful ship, now gone forever.
I hope it can be fixed.
I know it’s just a blended, but I’m gonna raise a glass of the ol’ Cutty Sark in her memory. (Hell, any excuse to have a drink!) But seriously, what a waste!
In 1970 we spent 3 books of S&H Green Stamps on a 3-ft model of the Cutty Sark. In 2004 my husband and I stood on her deck in Southwark drydock, the first stop on a pilgrimage of classic sailing vessels–Victory, Trincomalee….
I am devastated.
Incidentally, Pastis, she was too fast to be piratised. Take that.
Thank you for telling the pastis about her. The newspapers are pretty much skipping the news of her.
It is a tragedy when a pirate ship burns. The FSM will surely have revenge on the a**holes who did this. They will get flat beer and ugly strippers — *if* they’re lucky.

I wish we had a pirate ship for all FSM’ers.

You apparantly :) You drunk little arsonist.
I was a bit worried there, but I appear to have gotten away with it.

Boy my head is sore and my pirate regalia stinks of smoke!
The Cutty Sark was tea clipper, i.e. it was it a fast ship built to bring tea from India to England. It was not a pirate ship!

Don’t forget that opium!
“It was not a pirate ship!”

It could be! (:))

If they do come for you and you mention the rest of the Patsfarians….you’re shark food! (:))
“It could be! (:)) ”
No it couldn’t! No-one would get involved in the tea and pirating business.
Tea and Pirates? I bloody would!
What could be better?
Rum as well, obviously :)
So *that’s* what the pirate make-up was for, Ûž!
@ Booty - So now the truth comes out! He claims some innocent reason for the makeup…it was a good cover story! :))))
I think so, Rowdier, I am so ashamed for falling for his lies!
I feel used :( (I wish ;P)
@ Booty - Wahahahaha!!! :))))
:)
I hope some other people come along too - I’m bored!
@ Booty - The (super secret, doesn’t really exist) Disciples Group is deserted last night and this morning…and I can’t stay and play right now. But I can come back in a bit!
Bugger.
Well, I guess I’ll go and play with myself then ;)
