Thank you to everyone who participated in the contest. Check out the top 10 reasons "Why Pirates are More Lovable Than Ninjas" below:

 * 3) Being friends with a Pirate means you'll always head home with a little extra cash. Cutty Flam, Cuba, NY

 * 5) Pirates come in all different shapes and sizes, so there is a Pirate out there for everyone! Fish Bait, Brooklyn, NY

 * 7) What's more lovable than the stench of a Pirate who hasn't bathed in a month?!? Lord Kearn, Kingsburg, CA
 * 8) Ninjas always have to be in their black tights crawling around and stalking people. That's just creepy! Mary, Bethlehem, PA
 * 9) Pirates wear clothes when they go out, while ninjas wear pajamas. Who wants to go on a date with someone wearing pajamas? Buffles De La Puffles, Oceanside, CA
 * 10) Ninjas rudely sneak up on people. Who likes to be snuck up on? Pirates are very polite in the way that they notify you when they are about to attack you. Charlotte O'hara, Raymond, ME
