Why pirates are cool written on Monday, October 31, 2005 by Mysteries/Conspiracies Poster Submitted by: Sarah Le Why are pirates so cool? The conclusion: Yes, Sarah, pirates are very cool, and here is why... I assume it has something to do with three factors: the eye patch, the peg-leg, or the bandana. These items have very good magic powers. Some may call it magic. But, I think lasers work best for pirates.
