If one is going to do silly correlations, one should at least get the
facts right. There were definitely more than 17 pirates around in 2000.
Consider these stories:

"Security in the High Seas: Piracy"
"The total number of piracy incidents that has been officially
reported to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) from July
2004 to October 2006; is 3,993."

From: http://www.analyst-network.com/article.php?art_id=1195

"French navy escorts Somali aid to deter pirates"
"Pirates have mounted at least 26 attacks on ships off Somalia,
including 13 hijackings, this year alone."

From: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...111900410.html

"US Navy Frees Ship From Pirates"
"The U.S. Navy on Monday helped free the fifth ship in a week
hijacked by Somalia pirates, attempting to bring security to crucial
shipping routes between the Red Sea and Indian Ocean."

From: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5i...MrqFwD8SNLJ9G0

"Somalia: U.S. Navy Still Battles Pirates On the High Seas"
"On October 30, a U.S. Navy destroyer answered a call for help --
relayed through the International Maritime Bureau -- from the North
Korean crew on a vessel that had been overtaken by pirates in
international waters October 29."

I got the humor (why else say it was silly?). I just prefer well thought
through humor. Sure, the common rabble may prefer the low brow humor, but
the effete prefer precision in their humor. Sniff.

Too late. I've been trying to convince her for 40 years that fighter
pilots are high brow. Now, thanks to Jim letting the cat out of the bag,
she knows the truth! I'm afraid the fart cushion is history!!!

know...authentic.
