Library Thing's been...Pirated?!?

Okay, so, this may be the most ridiculous thing ever to make a blog post about, but I was over consulting LibraryThing as I often do, and about an hour ago it was all normal as can be. I returned shortly thereafter for yet more consulting and the entire site had been "translated" into pirate-talk, in honor of Talk Like A Pirate Day, I imagine, which is, I think, tomorrow. If you haven't seen it yet, it's definitely something to be seen.

Honestly, I laughed so hard, my mother thought I'd finally gone off my rocker, and if I'd been drinking a beverage, which I thankfully wasn't, it would have been...everywhere. I'm not sure if it's because it's really that funny or if I just need, like, a lot more sleep. You be the judge!

P.S. It's even better if you've got an account and you're logged in.

  2. I was just there too and it was awesome. Very funny! I know the feeling of wanting everyone to see it because it is done so well.

  4. It is funny! It's part of what has made me decide to join LT. ;) So if you're silly, I'm flighty!!

  5. I think it should be Talk Like a Pirate Week. LT switched over while I was logged in and that was a trip.

  6. Awesome! I love it when companies have a sense of humor! Wonder if google is going to change their heading for the holiday.

  11. Haha, I made a post about it too, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who not only found it hilarious but post-worthy in its silliness.

  12. I discovered this yesterday when all of the books in the LT widget on my blog were by "the dread pirate" so-and-so. I'd forgotten today was Talk Like a Pirate Day, so I was very confused at first :-).

  13. I think it's great that they did this, but what I really liked was the way they made it easy to turn this off! That's a good example of a site that's cool but considerate.

  14. I logged in on Friday to add in a few new books and had a blast looking around. I am glad the LibraryThing crew decided to do that.
