Ah, we've got another Twilight Zone fan!

Thanks for pointing that out. I really like TZ ("Time Enough at Last" is one of my favorites episodes of all time, which was also spoofed by Simpsons and Futurama), but forgot to mention that in my previous post. "To Serve Pirate" would be an even better book title, for Guybrush could say: "It's a cookbook!" when you clicked on it.

TZ was all about irony, and few eps end more ironically than "Time Enough At Last." Burgess Meredith owned every ep he was in. A favorite of mine as a kid, though, was apparently (just looked it up) the last of the series: "The Bewitchin' Pool." Haven't seen it in forever, but it's a very TZ twist on some Peter Pan themes, which come to think of it, kinda reminds me of MI2's ending

Winds:

The wind that is actually rain
The wind that dare not speak its name
The long and winding wind
The wind that will put wind in your sails
Wind? Wind? We don't need no stinkin' wind!

[Melrond]
