Interesting point about the name, Dong.

OTOH, the image of pirates really conjours up harmless friendly stereotypes, 
ever since RLS and JMB fictionalised the concept. Plus, it's simple. If you need 
any idea of just how desperate the need is to simplify a message, I can provide 
no better example than the comments to the best performance I know of the 
greatest symphony ever written (yeah, IMO... I found Mahler a bit germanic on 
first listen, and the opratic stuff may be just too much for many, but, if you 
can get into the musical language, it's like learning to fly...):

and, this is sublime, truly the greatest of its kind. And look at the comments. 
This is the truth about human beings.
