Funny easter egg in Sid Meier's Pirates!

[Mattigus]

For those of you who have Sid Meier's Pirates! should try playing it today (September 19th.) You may notice that the game text is quite different. Instead of using the words "you" and "your," the text is replaced by "ye" and "yer." The words "Arrr!" "Ahoy!" and "Shiver Me Timbers!" are inserted occasionally. I couldn't figure out why this was happening, until my girlfriend talked to me. Apparently, September 19th is National "Talk-Like-A-Pirate" Day! The game shows its respect for the holiday by actually talking like a pirate!

Yeah, if you turn the clock back it'll have the special effects.
It's cool they put that in

Pirates ftw!

Sid Meier always has these easter eggs in his games. Civ 3: PTW gives you Elvis as your monarch on Elvis' birthday. It also tells you sleep is for the weak when you're playing the early hours
