Sophisticated Pirate Jokes

Here's a link to McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Pirate Riddles for Sophisticates. Since we've read Virno (I'll post more on that later) we have found that the joke is an "innovative act." So how does that apply to our projects? While we don't necessarily have to make jokes that are funny or make us laugh (Virno refers to the logolinguistic resources of the joke) I thought this little gem on the web was amusing. I also thought it might be a good example for the voice of my conceptual persona. Pirate speak was a phenomenon that became popular a few years back. There's even a Facebook language option that's in pirate. While the riddles in the beginning are great, I think the "joke" is most successful towards the end - you'll see why. It kind of reminds me of the lolcat Bible. They've finished translating it and you can read the whole thing online here!
