Today is Talk Like A Pirate Day and to celebrate, here are some fun facts about this national day!
1. It was created on D-Day - Talk Like a Pirate Day creators John Baur and Mark Summer (who’ve since acquired the nicknames “Ol’ Chumbucket” and “Cap’n Slappy,” respectively) created the holiday while playing racquetball on June 6, 1995—the 51st anniversary of the invasion of Normandy. Out of respect to the battle’s veterans, a new observance date was quickly sought.
3. There is also a Day Of The Ninja
4. Astronauts celebrated Talk Like A Pirate Day on an international space staton
5. Former President Barack Obama celebrated Talk Like A Pirate Day in 2012
It could be a good excuse to talk only as a pirate all day! ARGH MATEY! SHIVERY ME TIMBERS!
