    There's the real humor: What are the chances these guys will be gotten by real pirates? It's still a big problem in the southern Asian seas. "Arrrr, gimme all yer CD-Rs." "Aye matie, but we'rrrrre pirates too." "No ye arrrrrn't, yerrrrr just geeks. Well tanned geeks. Arrrrr."

    And here I thought it was because the US is *not in Europe*.
