So you are saying that Luffy is not a pirate, but his dream is to be king of the pirates.

No, they just want to send their money to your US account @_@

Speaking of pirates, Hulu.com recently added Yellowbeard to their collection =D I watched it last night \m/

Accents just kind of evolve over time and become a mish mash of other accents that come together. I'm from Pittsburgh and while I like to consider myself educated, I can't tell you how many times in a day I use the words "n'at" and "yuinz".

This thread has inspired me to download the game 'port royale 2' . (ive already finsished Sid Meier's Pirates! on the highest level, otherwise id play that again).

The BBCs 'Blackbeard' is a great 'real' pirate film. I might have to watch it for the 4th time...

Sid Meiers Pirates! (the later, 3D version) is a fantastic game - the sort you can get lost in for a week or 2. 8)
Its been out a few years so you could probably pick it up for a few £ if you dont want to d/l it.

I think theres a sort of unofficial MMO version too.
