Today in Crimes from 2 Centuries Ago: Pirates Take Oil

Somali Pirates Capture Oil Tanker On Route to New Orleans

The resurgence of Pirates isn’t the biggest of news items these days (its been happening for a while) but the fact that they are not only trying these crazy stunts, they’re PULLING IT OFF.

“NAIROBI, Kenya — Somali pirates have struck again, seizing an oil tanker loaded with $20 million in crude that was headed from Saudi Arabia to the United States, naval authorities said Monday.”

Do you realize they don’t have that much technology OR money? These attacks are beig won by sheer balls. I have to admit I wouldn’t be prepared for a Pirate attack. The whole time I’d wonder to myself…”is this a gag? This has to be a gag right? Who the hell ‘Pirates”(verb) son?”

And then I would be shot.
