Aw, come on jlf1961, it's a silly international holiday, based on the Disney kind of pirate, not real life ones. ;)
Well, you see, I am cultivating my evil old geezer villain persona, and this seemed to be one of the times it was a good point to do so.
Besides, I used a random number generator and cross referenced the result with a set of actions and since I was given the option of either pointing out the obvious or triggering a major solar event and igniting Jupiter as a second sun.
You have chosen wisely.
Actually, since my requisitions for 900 jovian masses worth of hydrogen have not been delivered yet (damn those freaking supply clerks) there really was not a choice.
Of course, these are the same supply clerks that politely explained that 2 billion metric tons of anti matter was a bit much to deal with a mosquito problem.
I am a firm believer in the old adage, "Overkill is another way of making sure the job was done correctly and thoroughly."
Being ex infantry, I also remember a sargent saying that "if one six bird element dropping nape on an enemy position is good, 10 is better, and a arclight strike is best."
The sargent was a Vietnam vet and explained that 'arclight' was a B52 group strike on an enemy fortified position.
