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."

Oh, it isn't my chart so I won't be defending it very hard.grin

If you check out the parent site there is all sorts of funny, goofy stuff on
there including the infamous Flying Spaghetti Monster. Creator of the
Universe BTW. http://www.venganza.org

They neglected to include the " x 100" notation in the axis label.

Although it's cool, floating ain't flying.

What is the definition of flying, then?

*Controlled* flight.

Humans tried to fly for over 50,000 years....

Is there any evidence of that?

I think any human who has ever seen a bird fly longs to do the same.

This leads to experimentation, or (as in my case) leaping off a flight
of stairs at age 5, because I was certain that my cape would allow me
to fly like Superman.

Although it's impossible to prove, longing to fly seems to be
incredibly common in humans. This longing inhabits their dreams, and
(in a tiny number) their reality.

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.

There is lighter than air, unpowered heavier than air, powered heavier than
air and now we even have no air.

Of course the space shuttle doesn't "fly" into space the way the X15 did, it
is blasted like a cannon shell. Then in orbit is just always falling over
the horizon. But it does fly back down.

Helicopters don't fly either, they just beat the air into submission.

It has been said during periods of "attitude adjustment" within the
fixed wing flight test community at the Pax River NAS O Club that the
only reason helo's can fly is that they are so ugly the earth repels
them :-)
