I appreciate the humor, of course, but I think students need to be made aware (and many of mine wouldn't normally be, I don't think) that piracy is a serious problem across the globe still... even without the swords and eye-patches. Now they use automatic weapons and night-vision googles.

Perhaps I have missed it, but I would like to know the source for the data that tell us how many pirates there have been per year. My intuitive sense tells me that the number of pirates has been increasing over the last 3 decades. How have pirates been defined? How has their number been assessed?

Again, I refer you to http://www.venganza.org/faq.htm#f7. The crucial sentence is, "But *real* pirates use swords."
