Foo - Regarding pirates

Does anyone else see the irony of a man with one eye, and therefore reduced depth perception, steering a large ship, sword fighting, and shooting guns?

A little known fact about pirates is that their beard is closer to cat's whiskers than human hair. As such, they are able to "feel" where everything is, even with just one eye.

Pirates were the predecessors to Chuck Norris. The lack of eyes and limbs is their way of giving the rest of us a sporting chance.

Interesting, but why are they frequently missing a hand? From playing with swords while visually impaired, no doubt.

Fixed it for ya.

with one hook tied behind his back...don't forget that extra set of eyes and hard beak seated on his shoulder.

The eye patch was not to cover a bad eye. It was to keep the good eye shielded from light during the day. Come night fall, the pirate removes the eye patch to activate his primitive night vision, as that eye was already acclimated to darkness.

A pirate with a peg leg, hook hand, and an eye patch walks into a bar. He sits down to have a beer and a stranger sitting next to him asks, “So what happened to the leg, if you don’t mind my asking?”

“Argh,” the pirate answers, “a fierce storm tossed me overboard, and a shark bit it off.”

“Oh,” the stranger says. “How about the hand?”

“Argh, I boarded a ship and fought the captain, and he took me hand before I made him walk the plank.”

The stranger then asks about the pirate’s eye. “Argh, a seagull pooped in me eye,” replies the pirate.

“Poop made you lose your eye?” asks the confused stranger.

“No,” the pirate answers, “’twas the first day with me hook.”

OT, but that Sex in the CIty/Matrix spoof was hilarious!

There seems to be a lot of myth and misunderstanding surrounding pirates. This (http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/17298) clears up some things.
