Avast, ye scurvy lout! There are three areas which currently have a very
high incidence of piracy:

1. Off the coast of Yemen

2. Off the east coast of Malaysia approaching the Straits of Malacca

3. (VERY distant third place) Off the coast of Nigeria, especially around
Lagos.

http://www.icc-ccs.org/index.php?opt...d=70&Itemid=58
gives a worldwide list of piracy prone areas.

Of course, none of those pirates actually talk like the pirate stereotype,
but Malaysian cuisine be mighty tasty.

Having a bunch of people responding to every joke with "not very
original" or similar words, isn't very original either. Just because
you've already heard a joke before, doesn't mean that you have to tell
us all.

What I thought was funny was that it took "rooster" SIX DAYS to respond. Not
very *quick*!

Aside from drunken college students, I can't imagine anyone actually
knowing there is a Pirates Day, much less mentioning it.

Get real.

And Ren Faire geeks. And pirate geeks, of course. And middle school
and high school students and teachers. There were lots of eye patches
in evidence, mainly on boys. The girls don't like them because they
mess up their mascara. There were some puffy shirts, though, and
striped tights with boots. Admin made them leave the Jack Sparrow hats
in their lockers. No headgear allowed except on pre-authorized hat days.
