    My not-pre-ordering brother would like to put forward the pirate name foodbeard. He says it should be a husky pirate.

    Also he suggest a book title Sun Tzu's Art of Voodoo.

    He's more to be pitied than censured. You see, he's a Linux user. Plus he's smack dab in the middle of finals, and he's in his last year so it's probably better he concentrate on graduating right now.

    I always got the impression you didn't really use Linux as much as Linux used you. As in, used your time and energy to get something that you could get to work correctly much faster on a PC or even a Mac.

    Yet they can't give it up. The first ones free; they figure why not try it? You can't get hooked that easily, right? We're doing what we can for him.

    Eventually he'll realize he's losing more time getting Linux to just run programs properly than he's scoring from the OS running faster. Troubleshooting anything on there is a nightmare.

    This thread is already filled up with so many funny titles :)

    "101 Magic Tricks" (I can see a scene where Guybrush sound surprised when reading this title and the VooDoo lady responds defensively "we all have to start somewhere"

    "Go for the Head!: Cautionary Tales of a Zombie Apocalypse"

    "Natural Chemistry: Magic Recipes for the Lazy in Love"

    "Natural Chemistry 2: More Magic Recipes for the Lazy in Love (Now with 65% less Zombies)"

    Im a bit of a loss for funny wind sayings at the moment, but its late :P

    I have been using Linux at work for almost 2 years. Maybe twice a year I have bigger issues with the OS, which are solved in 1 or 2 hours. Sure, I can't get the line-out to work and 3D has some persistent issues, but I don't need that things at work. At home, I am using Windows.

    I'm sorry if these suggestions have been said before, but it's easy to miss stuff in the mass of suggestions. I'd like to re-emphasise that comment before making my book suggestion because I'm sure someone has to have suggested it before.

    BOOK:
    Monkey Island 3 - R. Gilbert

    WINDS:
    I can't believe it's not wind

    The wind that doesn't quite move a ship -- the word ship can be replaced with the vessel GT is trying to sail

    The one minute a year gust

    The wind that tickles your * -- *insert the word people use to describe GT's beard.

    A Clock-wind Orange

    PIRATE NAME:
    Privateer Shmeh (I might slaughter the innocent, but at least I pay my taxes!!)



    Here's some wind suggestions that elaborate on some previous ones:
    The wind with no name (other than this one)

    The wind that tells you the secret of Monkey Island -- Every 10 Minutes in this area you hear the words "The secret of Monkey Island" in a gusty voice.

    The wind beneath my cheeks


    I was going to suggest "The wind of sixty-nine disappointed sighs" before I read someones suggestion of "The breeze of a thousand sighs", so I'll suggest it by pretending to have a cry. QQ
