It's Talk Like a Pirate Day, so let's all heave a hearrrty "Arrr" and down a ration of grog. Also, more significantly, today is the day of the Freshman Biology Major Mixer! In case any of our new biology...

This would be something like Reason #5,422. Another reason is that there's no such thing as "Talk Like a Ninja Day". (Psssst…19 September. Arrrr.)...
