Why don't real pirates have parrots on their shoulder?

My bro got a new laptop recently and gave me his old PC to use. It's much better than mine, so I was excited. You have no idea. Anyway, in the process of switching, I forgot to copy my Outlook files from my old comp to my new one. You see, I had to erase Office 2003 on my old comp, put it on the new one, then put Office XP on the old one to keep clean with copyright laws. But I forgot to get the Outlook files first. Curses! So now, I don't know when people's birthdays are! Curses, foiled again!

Anyway, I had to look up the date of National Talk Like a Pirate Day since I couldn't remember. And it made me think: why don't real pirates have parrots on their shoulders? And why don't they make peg legs for themselves anymore? I'd be more afraid if they did. Instead, they have AK-47s and those cheap titanium legs. Psh.

I've also decided to switch from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox. I got IE 7.0 Beta, which is redesigned to mimic Firefox: tabs, softer rounder buttons, etc... But since it's beta, it's got some bugs. So, I decided to switch to the proven Firefox. I like it so far. Time will tell...

Graduation party this evening, Andy-man tonight, Crowder tomorrow, Jonny O for lunch. Sweet action jackson.

Firefox is the shizzam, which is actually a good thing. I recommend the All-In-One Gestures, which basically makes you an internet ninja and then there will be no turning back to IE.

Seriously though, I will try IE when it gets out of beta but I'm thinking it will still be bigger and slower than Firefox.

It has only been what, 4 years since other browsers had tabs, IE is now going to start evolving them, it should get them perfected by the end of the decade.
