George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
Most pirates aren’t interested in science and technology, unless it has something to do with swords and weapons and sailing.
George was interested in telephones and communication technology.
In fact, he was the reason why Alexander Graham Bell said “Watson, come here, I need you.”
George had burst into Bell’s lab, all excited to have found his hero.
Bell was surprised by the sight of a pirate breaking into his lab, so he called for Watson.
They drove off George, who shrugged and went away, looking for Thomas Edison.
