Somalia - Lots of Pirates, low Carbon Emissions

Congrats to Colin for contributing the latest evidence in our Pirates Vs. Global-Warming link:

Somalia has the highest number of Pirates AND the lowest Carbon emissions of any country. Coincidence?

    Yar, ’tis but a fluke, a coincidence if ye will. I see not a hat, nor a peg leg, nor an eyepatch on any of these Somalian scalawags. These vagabonds ain’t *true* pirates.

    They’re on the road to becoming true pirates, so I think the FSM has simply given them an incentive to continue practicing their pirate ways until they’ve restored a respectable degree of true pirateness to their society. The FSM works in mysterious ways, except in cases that prove his existence, such as this one.

    I must agree with Boatswain Z. These ruffians do not look like fun loving, giving candy to children, true pirates. They look like what the modern, unbeliving, world has warped the view of pirates into, criminals on the sea.

    They may not be true pirates but thats because they cant afford it, swags harder to get than it used to be. but good for them they are doing a great thing.

    They’re just crooks on boats….

    I think we need to advance as pirates, we cant use swords and single shooters anymore. look at that, an rpg, thats what we need. “this is what fsm would do…” BOOM!!!!

    I dunno about you, but when I think about a pirate, I think peg leg, eye-patch, rocket propelled grenade launcher, you know, all the usual stuff. I think it’s great evidence, they’re doing their part to reduce global warming, aargh!!!

    Somalia - i did not even know that they had water much less pirates. I may have to start some pirating on the Missip just to stir things up.

    What about ATM’s and upwellings? I became a pirate the rum and chanteys!

    These Somalian “pirates” could be another smear campaign by the Hare Krishnas. They lack the panache and peglegs of True Pirates.

    Of course not!!! They bring the FSM’s word where ever they go. But, as has been said above^^ these are not true pirates. Once they are wearing proper pirate regalia I will consider them so. yeah, Cap’n Ollie, you’re right. But there must be SOME reason that Somalia has the lowest carbon emissions. Perhaps the clothing doesn’t matter so much to the FSM, it’s more the actions. And those guys look like true pirates at heart. Or maybe it’s because the people in Somalia CONSUME LESS ENERGY!!! hmmm… interesting…LOGICAL!! Although not everything is logical in this world, as you can’t expect a drunk Flying Spaghetti Monster to create a world that makes sense!!!

    Peace, Love, and Pirates!!

    Ye can Arr-gue all day long, me hearties, whether they be true pirates or not. But if they be low in pollution, well now, I’m sure somebody be doing something right.

  13. 13 Darwin Apr 16th, 2008 at 4:11 am

    May be they actually have peg legs? How can you be sure they haven’t? Furthermore, has anybody of the critics tried to wear a traditional pirate hat on a speedboat at full speed? I say, these guys are true pirates, just somewhat adapted to modern necessities. I am sure, after having collected the ransom, they will turn their attention to a fine bottle of rum!

    Arrgh!

    LOL

    I actually did LOL.

    I feel compelled to spend an extended time with a fine bottle of rum to convene with His Noodliness. Perhaps I will be blessed with a vision.

  16. 16 YankeeNoodle Apr 16th, 2008 at 8:45 pm

    They look like butt-pirates. Generally these types release more emissions. Further proof of his mysterious ways.

  17. 17 Bucken Apr 17th, 2008 at 8:32 am

    These are nothing more than a fabrication by the Christians to cover up the real piracy in those parts. Of course they’re not the real deal(although one of them does carry a large stick). Their ship isn’t a real pirate ship, plus they lack pirate trinkets.
    The real pirates go about consoling the berobbed afterwards and stopping the Shameless Heretics In Tiny Ships.

    Furthermore, these S.H.I.T.S. have probably never even seen a peg leg. Let alone been touched by His Wholly Wholesome Holy Noodle!

  18. 18 Yarrrr ha harrr Apr 17th, 2008 at 9:05 am

    Course they’re real pirates. Look at the one 3rd from the right. He’s taken off his peg leg and is giving it a polish.

  19. 19 Yarrrr ha harrr Apr 17th, 2008 at 9:07 am

    Course they’re real pirates! Look at the one 3rd from the right. He’s taken off his peg leg to give it a polish.

  20. 20 Bucken Apr 17th, 2008 at 4:18 pm

    No Yarrrr, you can’t deny that that’s definitely not a pirate ship. It’s small and engine powered. Using fuel! That guy’s probably stolen the peg leg from a real pirate, who was busy handing out candy and generally making the world a better place.
    .
    By the way, is that guy holding a rocket launcher? While the other guys have to do with wooden sticks?
    That’s not a piratey thing to do…

Purchase the Gospel

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
