While my assistant's question remains pertinant, his failure to have his work reviewed by the Grad Committee at the Gallus Institute for Higher Hilarity is revealed by the switched numbers of pirates for the years 1820 and 1860. I would also like to avoid any confusing by pointing out that he is referring to High Seas, "Rrr!!" pirates in this analysis. Similar research has shown that software pirates did not begin to flourish until the effects of Global Warming were beginning to become noticeable and that their numbers have a direct-square realationship to the average mean increase in global temperature.

All in all, though, a commendable effort worthy of Bruce's BS (Bulls***), MS (More of the Same), and PHD (Piled Higher and Deeper) degrees.

Bruce, I would begin to worry about you if I wasn't doing it already. ROTF \:D \:D \:D
