It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!
International Talk Like a Pirate Day (ITLAPD) is a parodic holiday invented in 1995 by John Baur (”Ol’ Chum Bucket”) and Mark Summers (”Cap’n Slappy”), of the United States, who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate. For example, an observer of this holiday would greet friends not with “Hello”, but with “Ahoy, me hearty!” The date was selected because it was the birthday of Summers’s ex-wife and consequently would be easy for him to remember.

Celebrate! 38 years ago, mankind journeyed to another world. Evoloterra is a celebration of what we are and what we have accomplished.
Evoloterra is a secular holiday celebrating human achievement in general, and the event of the first manned moon landing in particular.

Where were you, what were you doing? It was before my time. I have always lived in a world were going to the moon was a fact, not a fiction. What is next on the horizon? Mars… beyond?
