There are apparently actual steps being taken in that direction here in Massachusetts, although they’re early ones. Still, the picture with the article being of the view northbound on the Zakim Bridge in Boston seems appropriate.

Because there has to be an amputation of some sort for proper piracy and most folks would rather have both their hands?

...they dance the hora at Romanian Orthodox weddings? Huh. Do they do the thing with the newlyweds lifted up on chairs too?

We have a very nice end-grain board we got from Shade Tree Fine Woodworking: http://www.ctcuttingboard.com/hardwoodkitchenproducts/endgrainboards.html You can order from their website.
