AUTHOR

Earle Martin <emartin@cpan.org>, but really Simon Wistow <simon@twoshortplanks.com>, because this is a straight rip of his Acme::Lingua::Strine::Perl!

BLAME

It's all london.pm's fault, of course.

DEDICATION

This module is dedicated to Captain Jack Sparrow, the best pirate I have ever seen.
