Just noticed that there are 2 new apps on the iTunes store - one is a Pirate Insult Generator (free) and the other is a Pirate Utility which translates your insult into pirate and allows you to e-mail directly from the app. Pirate Monkeyness I think is the developer. Kinda fun!

Here's a Pirate Joke I wrote: What's a stuttering pirate's favorite song? Answer: I, I, I, I, I'm not yer steppin' stone." But then I realized I could be arrested for telling that joke! The charge, "pirating a Monkees song."

Most unoriginal site ever. Every joke simply includes a word with the letter "r" in it. The punch line is just holding down the "R" key. That's only funny once, maybe twice. How about something different.
