the piracy though, thats a little farther out there.

From Yahoo news this morning, 19 March 2006.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Two U.S. Navy warships exchanged gunfire with suspected pirates Saturday off the coast of Somalia, and one suspect was killed and five others were wounded, the navy said.

Advice to any would-be pirates out there: Do NOT pick a fight with a US Navy warship, let alone two.

-Consider this a free service to any pirate too stupid to figure this out on your own.-

Thanks for the post. May have saved me a lotta grief. I was just buckling my swash to go out and do some piracy to pay off my credit card. But fortunately you stopped me in my tracks. Plan B: I'll register Republican and use the contacts to sell my ideas for some really cool torture devices.
