Pirate Riddles for Sophisticates
I stopped by McSweeney's today for the first time in a long while and found this:
Q: What's a pirate's favorite aspect of computational linguistics? A: PARRRsing sentences.Q: What's a pirate's favorite alliance-creating diplomatic agreement from the Second World War?
A: The TripARRRtite Pact.Q: If that same pirate were then to recite a 20th-century poem about the nature of poetry, what would it be?
A: "ARRRs Poetica" by ARRRchibald MacLeish.
(UPDATE: After all, it is, apparently, Talk Like a Pirate Day.)
