Pirates are Better than Ninjas. And here's why:

Aside from the obvious fact that Pirates are just freakin' awesome, let's take weaponry into account: Pirates have a ship. Ships have — that's right— cannons. Pirates also have guns, swords, gun powder, rum, and occasionally black magic. What do ninjas have? A couple of smoke bombs, maybe some swords and knives, and possibly nunchucks, but mostly, they are going to rely on hand-to-hand combat. Picture the greatest ninja walking up to a pirate and preparing to strike with his greatest combination of deadly high kicks and judo chops. What does the pirate do? He shoots the bugger on the spot.

Aside from weaponry, let's also remember that pirates are always able to get some sweet lovin' from the bar wenches and other ladies hanging out around their various ports of call. You ever heard of a Ninja getting lucky? I didn't think so.

Pirates have their own ride at Disneyworld. The closest thing ninjas have to that is the "Japan" section on "It's a Small World."

We've all ready covered that pirates have a ship, and the ladies love a man with a big…vessel. Ninjas have…. oh yeah, that's right. Ninjas walk every where.

Pirates also always have rum. Ninjas have Sake. My friend has some sake that ate through the cork of a bottle. I'm not drinking anything that could do that to my stomach.

Pirates have parrots, or monkies, or in some cases, undead monkies. Ninjas have…. nothing.

Pirates can get by with a missing leg, eye, or hand. I don't think a ninja would be doing too well if he lost any of the aforementioned.

Pirates effing rock!
