(Humor) New NASA Photo Reveals Mercury Space Pirate

Dramatic new pictures have revealed the unseen side of Mercury in detailed images taken from a Nasa spacecraft orbiting the planet. Astronomers saw firsthand the clear image of the Skull & Cross Bones of Mercury, a sure sign that Space Pirates have been to the planet closest to the Sun.

"It all makes sense," says one astronomer, asking not to be named. "Mercury is poisonous, and the symbol represents poison. Mercury is known as Quicksilver, and Long John Silver was a pirate. Pirates wanted pieces of eight, and there are eight planets." The Space Pirates obviously didn't recognize Pluto as a planet.

That does it! I’m getting a new window shade for the bathroom! And new shower curtains, too.

Aha! Undead Mercury Space Pirates!
Oh, no, wait, it's this thread that's "undead". It's come back! (Really, I'd forgotten all about it.)

LOL
