Take That, Cap'n Jack Sparrow!

I notice everyone thinks pirates are totally cool until they actually turn up off the coast of Somalia in the 21st century. Then they're just a freakin' nuisance and deserve to be shot down like the scurvy sons of seacooks that they are. 

Maybe if they wore 18th century fancy dress...

Fortunately I have read enough about pirates to know that they were never actually cool.

Although I do like the idea of Robin Hood... but he was a land pirate I guess?

I love Robin Hood- but I think he's almost as mythical/legendary as King Arthur.
