Yar, it be September 19th, I suggest ye navigate over to talklikeapirate.com or else walk the plank!
Robert Jordan, author of the *extremely* long winded Wheel of Time series died last weekend without finishing the last book in the series! This was a set of 11 enormous books, some in excess of 1000 pages, each one more boring than the last. All the time I invested in those books and now I have no closure! Plus I met the guy in person and he was a jerk.
Do yourself a favor and go listen to Chris Cornell covering Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. One place you can hear it is here. I like Michael Jackson, but I think Chris Cornell’s version is better!
Shane Halbach 
HA HA!
Sorry, I don’t mean to mock your anguish or anything, but can I tell you how glad I am never to have sucked into Wheel o’ Time?
Anyway, the last book will be finished by his wife. He’s apparently left her all the details. Resolution you shall have. Of sorts. It’s supposed to be in the ballpark of 1500 pages. heh.

Sadly, our annual office “Talk Like a Pirate Day” party was cancelled this year, because some boring VIPs had to come and takeover the cantine to talk about the budget and stuff. The presentation would have been much more interesting if he’d talked about “pillaging treasure from ye ol’ manufacturing segments!”
— Wheel of Time —
Hahahaha! No, I’m not laughing at you. I always feel that I’m lacking in my geek level for not having read the series. It’s just that every time I see a Wheel of Time book (or see them mentioned) I can’t help but remember Kevin Hein’s unfortunately-named nephew! Remember that?! The poor kid got named “Robert Jordan Book.” Purely by accident. Hahahahaha!
