Are Dragons Pirates?

For International Speak Like A Pirate Day we ran a promotion where people got discounts on Piratical product. In an attempt to persuade me that the Dragonology boardgame was a piratical product Yoda sent me a list of things that Pirates and Dragons have in common. So for your amusement here is Yoda's list:

Dragons
Love shiny things
Steal Treasure
Kill people for treasure
Burn then pillage
Hate invisible Hobbits
Hide their treasure in caves
Sleep on their gold
Kidnap princesses
Ignore the rules
Like pretty ladies
Don't write
Don't take baths
Can't swim
Come in a range of colours
Know they're better than humans
Can speak many languages
Are cute and cuddly
Are hunted by knights
Have guns named after them
Fight with tooth and claw
Have toys modelled on them
Appear as movie stars
Are the bad guys
Are the good guys
Breathe fire
Wear lots of jewellery
Have lots of booty

Pirates
Love shiny things
Steal Treasure
Kill people for treasure
Pillage then burn
Hate ninjas
Hide their loot in caves
Sleep with their gold
Kidnap nobles
Break the rules
Like pretty ladies
Can't write
Don't take baths
Can't fly
Come in a range of colours and smells
Think they're better than toffs
Can speak bits of many languages
Are cute and cuddly
Are hunted by knights
Use guns
Fight with sword and knife
Have toys modelled on them
Appear as movie stars
Are the bad guys
Are the good guys
Set things on fire
Wear lots of jewellery
Have lots of booty

so there we go. I was certainly convinced.
