One of my friends just shared this tip:

1) Scroll to the bottom of your Facebook page.
2) On the bottom left corner, click English: US.
3) When the language selection appears, click English: Pirate.

Arr, this may be pleasin' to yer eye.

(edit: even pirates hate typos)

Sample, President Obama on Torture:

English:
"Waterboarding violates our ideals and our values. I do believe that it is torture," he told a news conference.
"That's why I put an end to these practices."
"I believe that waterboarding was torture. And I think that ... whatever legal rationales were used, it was a mistake."
"We could have gotten this information in other ways, in ways that were consistent with our values, in ways that were consistent with who we are," he said.
"In some cases it may be harder, but part of what makes us, I think, still a beacon to the world is that we are willing to hold true to our ideals even when it's hard, not just when it's easy."

Translated to "Pirate":
"Waterboardin' violates our ideals 'n our values. I do believe that 'tis torture," he told a news conference.
"That's why I put an end t' these practices."
"I believe that waterboardin' was torture. 'n I reckon that ... whatever legal rationales were used, 'twas a mistake."
"We could 'ave gotten this information in other ways, in ways that were consistent wit' our values, in ways that were consistent wit' who we be," he said.
"In some cases it may be harder, but part o' wha' makes us, I reckon, still a beacon t' th' world be that we be willin' t' hold true t' our ideals even when 'tis hard, nah jus' when 'tis easy."
