A day of pirate fun for the whole family, and a special day of observance for Pastafarians.  One of the tenets of belief for those who follow the Flying Spaghetti Monster is that they <a href=\"http:\/\/www.venganza.org\/about\/\"target=\"_blank\">&#8220;believe pirates, the original Pastafarians, were peaceful explorers and it was due to Christian misinformation that they have an image of outcast criminals today&#8221;<\/a>.  So today is a special day for everyone; Pastafarians, rum drinkers, and those who just want a little whimsy for a day.<\/p>\n<p>And there is still time left to celebrate!
