Everyone knows a cat has three tails - want me to prove it?
1) No cat has two tails.
2) One cat has one tail more than no cat.
3) Ergo, one cat has three tails (2+1)
Arr!

Arr!
Call me Dirty Anne Flint!
I'm the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of me understand; just to get rid of the smell. Like the rock flint, I'm hard and sharp. But, also like flint, I'm easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
...which is odd, as I bathe daily. Must be a gland problem.

Aaarrrr! I be Dread Pirate Flint.
Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, I have a keen head for how to make a profit. Like the rock flint, I be hard and sharp. But, also like flint, I be easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
Just for honks (since loup didn't do it this week), I tried George Bush:
Calico Roger Roberts
'Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes -- but who really cares? Arr!'
quizzical (aka 'Sparky')

Red Tom Vane: Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that's okay, because it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr!
Yep that sounds about right.

(bad pirate voice) Shiver me timbers, my name kicks booty!
Mad Tom Rackham
Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!
That cool or what?!

Arrrrr.
I be Dirty Mary Flint
You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
I also be Mad Ned the Executioner and Harpoon Harry the Horrible! You guys need to be verrrrrrrrry afraid.
