Yeah, BUT pirates sail around and shoot people all the time and put sparklers in their beards to freak people out and have cool swords! They ride around in those awesome boats and kill people just for looking at them, or being rich, or for being on a ship that didn't sink immediatly after being shot with many cannons. And they become pirate ghosts, and drive around in pirate ghost ships, and they still kill people!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
