WIKI Just Blew My Mind

Did you know that mayhem is a legal term meaning the dismemberment of another person in order to prevent them from defending themselves? And that it's current use was brought on by people misinterpreting it in the newspapers when it said "panic and mayhem"?

Did you know that premises originally just meant aforementioned matters? And that its current use is because it was misunderstood in legal documents?

Also, did you know that algorithm evolved from misspellings and missinterpretations of algorism, which is just the rules of doing arithmetic with Arabic numerals?

Lastly, did you know that much like the cofusion with Frankenstein and Frankenstein's monster, Syphilis is the name of the first person afflicted with the mysterious disease in an epic poem of the same name?

Well, I sure as hell didn't know. And now that I DO know, I feel like I've been lied to all my life. It's like when you first find out you've been using "decimated" incorrectly. Well, once again, I owe it all to syphilis!

SKY PIRATES!

That's right, Sky Pirates! Apparently they've moved beyond fact and are now featured in video games - kickin'!

It's pretty sweet, the way Sky Pirates work. You see, I was playing FF XII, training to be an Sky Pirate, when I decided to take a break and play Skies of Arcadia again. Then it hits me: I'm playing two concurrent sky pirating games! As amazing as this may seem, I feel the need to train and train hard, for the life of a sky pirate is equal parts wicked and bitchy.

Part 1 - Diet

The only thing Sky Pirates eat, as far as I'm aware, is chicken ramen. And they swig this down with Swiss Miss hot chocolate. Why? Because packets, that's why. If you're flying around, stealing shit and hopping from ship to ship (in the sky!), you aren't going to pack veggies and eggs and crap. Also, these are the only foodstuffs currently within my possession, so...yes.

With that...um...I have no idea. Let me think the rest out.
