Really? That's funny.
My user-name comes from a german legend about a man, a pirat, who captures saveral ships in the Baltic Sea in the late 14th century. The legend tells that he shared his loot with poor people - sort of Robin Hood on the sea. His name was Klaus Störtebeker (I replaced the umlaut ö with oe, as it is common in german). It is a very popular myth, espacially in Nothern Germany.

By the way, we actually have a störtebeker beer in Germany , named after the above mentioned person.
