Fortune Red

[pirate on] Kudos t' Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing for gettin' into t' pirate spirit by passin' along a link ta T' Pirates Arcade page, featurin' Fortune Red, t' fortune-tellin' pirate machine, tellin' yer scurvy fortunes. And 'tis a mean one I received: "Lor' love me, matey, I tells ye true. Untold treasures will be found at the end o' this here cruise provided ye sails a tactful course. Aye, fame and fortune can be found only through discretion and diplomacy." It goes on but curse ye for a landlubber, Fortune Red, "discretion and diplomacy"?? Ask any pirate, 'tain't no problem that can't be solved with a sharp cutlass through t' gizzard...
