I can't talk like a pirate. Speaking English is already hard enough for me!

I've always wondered why 9/19 is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Is there any significance of it?

Errm... I read it somewhere *grabs the official book*
"Baur and Summers came up with this idea a few years ago. They were playing racquetball, and, as so often happens, they began talking like pirates. And then it struck them: Why no have a day when EVERYBODY talks like a pirate? They decided that the logical day would be September 19, because that - as you are no doubt aware - is Summers' ex-wife's birthday."
- from So You Wanna Be A Pirate? Here's How! by John "Ol' Chumbucket" Baur and Mark "Cap'n Slappy" Summers (on page xi-xii in the introduction written by Dave Barry)
