Six times ye say? Horse hair!
 

< Pirate Voice >

A fortnight ago I swagger'd down the docks wit a shipmate o' mine.
'Aye' says he. 'Been lookin' art that thar lady' and he points inside a sooloon to a pretty young lass.
Shivver me timbers! Says I. Tw'as a tannery for us h'mans.
He says: 'Oy! Go in dar and arder service so's I can make to conversin' wit her.
'Bollocks!' cried I. But aye, I owed my shipmate far a prev'ous favor and had to oblige.
In we went, and I ardered some service for me mate's ben'fit.
No sooner dan dis a man come up to my face, all puffin an huffin, and warns me off.
'Them bulbs is new' says the man. 'They be six times brighter than the sun.'
Says I: 'Them's foitin' wards, ain't nothin six times is bright as the sun.'
He pushed up, red as a rose in the cheeks. 'You bleedin' callin' me a liar?!' He huffed and puffed.
Says I: 'I ain't one to be bamboozled, if it's a beatin' yar lookin' far, ya dun right found one' an proceeded to hold me fists up.
'Aye' says the man. 'T'ain't wort da trouble' and swaggered off a huffin an a puffin.
So's, I got me service, and me shipmate made right wit the gal he was eye'in.
Stil, I wonder jes what that man meant by 'six times'.
Could he a been serious, an' what manner a illness infects his brain to think such blasphemous thoughts.
Speak up. What say ye to this discourse!

What

DFM you forgot the "?" at the end.

Not having it really seemed more appropriate.

I am of the opinion that the gentleman in question could very well have been suffering from a bout of heat stroke, a touch of brain fever, if you will. In his delirious state - no doubt further advanced by his evident intoxication - he was of the unwavering opinion that said bulbs possessed a glow that not only rivalled, but surpassed that of our sun six times over.

He was merely a colleague of yours in the profession of high-seas adventuring, and had consumed more alcohol and other such spirits than his body could tolerate, as well as having spent more time than is considered healthy by leading medical practitioners of the day. This discourse you present is nothing more than the inane babbling of a raving drunk.

Well, to a Earthbound watcher a light bulb (a modern, doohickeyed contraption) is actually six times brighter than the sun, which is actually fairly weak after it's light travels hundreds of billion miles to our fair planet. It just makes up for it with quantity.

I have no idea what the jello Horse hair has to do with it, though.

Aside from violins, Horse hair doesn't go much for anything!

Hence why I said it ye landlubber!

So.... uh... Your pregnant...!? Wow.. that's... terrific

Ninja's are better...

About the six times brighter than the sun part, check the definition of hyperbole.

I cannot fault myself for lubbing land! It was where I was born, and from where my honor comes from!

Clearly you are just as crazy as the one whom said the crazy talk, you who are sea monkey!
