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 suggest we start looking at those who follow the IPU or ninjas. Only ninjas would do something like this to pirates, and followers of the IPU would do it because of the importance of piratical life to our Noodly Master. May the spirit of the Cutty Sark live forever in our memories.

I saw it on tv, such a shame. I wonder what kind of moronic idiot would set fire to something like that? I suggest (if it really turns out to be arson) we capture them and make them walk the plank of our pirate-vessel. Even if we should have to rent one first :)

I have two dogs. One I have named Pirate and the other I have named Ninja (yes they fight a lot). This is an experiment into the behaviour that these to exhibit towards each other. From my observations so far I am in no doubt that this is the work of a Ninja.

It isn’t as bad as it looks – they were doing renovations at the time, so the mast and sails were happily locked in a warehouse somewhere. Although I do like the idea of keelhauling the wannabe murderers.

I don’t want to be a killjoy but £25 000 000.00 to renovate it was the original budget.

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.

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!

I don’t think many ships are built to be priate ships.
But a fast tea-clipper sounds like an excellent choice to me.
It will have a nice big cargo hold for our booty and be able to out run other vessels!

As soon as they rebuild it, I’m having another go!
