I tripped over a serious issue while reading a post over in the "all things FSM" forum.
It was assumed that ninjas were stealing the pirates place in TV shows, movies etc. That might be true for the last 50 years. But on a historical scale it may be completely different.
Ninjas were there before the pirates. In japans feudal era the ninjas were at numbers we could only speculate, but definitely more than pirates. The pirate era, as we all know, began way later in history. So there might be something behind this.
What if the FSM
knew that the numbers of ninjas were shrinking and therefor put the pirates in place to stop a global warming? Both, pirates and ninjas, are sword wielding beings considered as bad guys. So both could be affecting the global temperature in the same way.
The big question is, what comes next? Now that the pirates suffered the same misfortune as the ninjas the FSM
must put someting new in place to stop the global warming. What if the FSM
has forgotten about us? We all might be doomed!
