I've recently learned that probably no disrespectable pirate ever said "shiver me timbers". It was the literary invention of Frederick Marryat in his 1835 story Jacob Faithful: "I won't thrash you Tom. Shiver my timbers if I do". It seems Mr. Marryat may have been concerned that a stronger oath might offend his readership. It appeared later in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island in 1883.

Hehe, you missed last night Lemming. (Or did you?)

I shall assume I missed it, because I don't know what you're talking about.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that there is
no "Y" in "Arrr"....
Sep 20, 2005 Beolach link
There's no "A", either.

Outstanding!

It's ergonomically designed for right, left, or hook-handed individuals.

Love it, Beo.

Oh, I dunno, after seeing the schematics for the IA keyboard, i'm thinking of throwing my Corsair in the bin.

Hmm, seems to be defective Yoda. It forgot the "Kick total ass" key
Sep 22, 2005 jexkerome link
"Kick total ass" key?

At most, I'd say only Eldrad's keyboard has it.

No, that IA keyboard is right on the money; maybe at most it's missing the turbo button for running away.
