September 19th is National Talk Like a Pirate Day.

This is not something I would normally blog about, but considering that I have at my resources a way to communicate effectively through all languages and periods in time – via the Center for Cosmic Energy, of course – this day holds some significance all of a sudden. Just think – most people are probably faking their way through pirate-speak, but you (who live near enough to come to the Gallery and experience The Center) can actually commune with pirates of yore. In their native language. Fluently.

Alright, onto the serious part of this posting.

The Everglades have officially been removed from the World Heritage endangered list. It is, however, still an official World Heritage Site. I heard today that the US has contributed about $7 billion dollars to its cleanup efforts. (This of course is relevant to The Center because we have a slideshow that includes several UNESCO World Heritage sites. Yesterday there were two little boys in the Gallery and they watched the entire slideshow with their mother. They could name almost EVERY picture without looking at our cheat sheet.)

Congrats to the Everglades. I am now going to study up on our slideshow so as not to be outdone by further legions of overly-smart seven-year-olds.

Arrrrrrrgh.
