I'm happy to add my "arrrrrr's" though I have often thought that the romanticisation of the "classical" age of piracy to be an interesting example of how time (and Hollywood) can filter history. Many of the pirates from this era were thieving murderous psychopaths who could disembowel innocent men (and on occasion, women and children) without a second thought. It seems an odd culture to celebrate.
To Godwin myself, if things are continue in this trend, perhaps in about 250 years time there will be a Talk like a Nazi Day and children will be dressing up in little SS uniforms (come on down Hugo Boss) and goose-stepping around the streets at Halloween.
