The Weird Blog of the Bagpipeby Ellistrations
the bagpipe picture of the pipes fashioned by Don Pablo de la Taco
al a Carte. They were fashioned from the skins and bladders of
two goats, a chicken and a yak. They had a characteristic odor that
was unpleasant.
No one in Spanish history is more associated with
Bagpipes than Don Pablo de la Taco al a Carte.
During the Battle of Juan Valdez, the Don,
in a moment of heroic bravery,
killed two goats, a chicken and a yak.
As he watched his men die in horrible blood shed, al a Carte
fled on foot to a nearby village and used the skins of the
animals (including
the bladders) to fashion the first bagpipes on the Iberian Peninsula.
The Dreaded Bagpipe Bird of the Yukon
Move over Bigfoot, there's a new critter in the Northwest Region of Canada
and it ain't pretty. Residents of the town of Whitehorse say that
for months they've heard the plaintive droning of this mythical bird,
but no 
one would believe them. The bird they are referring to is the
Dreaded Bagpipe Bird of the Yukon which has been spotted by the people of Whitehorse for centuries.
The alleged photo of the bird (seen to the left) was taken by local resident, Ress T. Raunt who owns and operates Whitehorse's only beauty parlor.
"Yeah I could'a swore I heard the sound of Bagpipes when I ran outside my cabin and there wuz this hideous critter trying to carry off my wife's prize poodle, Keno."
Willing to risk his wife's dog, Raunt took a picture of the creature before it flew off.
"Lord, it made a horrible sound, but it kinda looked pretty" Raunt reflected.
Zoologists are planning an expedition to Whirehorse to investigate the matter but are refusing to wear kilts in an effort to attract the animal.Hey, if you thought that was weird...

NASA
Uses Bagpipes!
NASA,
in an effort to find newer and better methods of testing the physical
capabilities of prospective astronauts, has decided to utilize bagpipes
in its initial testing program. Bert Fernby of NASA's astronaut recruiting
program said," We find that college students find it a lot less
threatening to blow into the pipes rather than a water tube, however the sound can be a bit overwhelming at times."
