Okay, some Somalian pirates attacked and hijacked a chemical tanker with a North Korean crew aboard. They’ve turned the ship around and are now headed the other way, holding the entire crew as hostages. Woah. And, just yesterday, some pirates released a 36 person crew from a ship they had hijacked and held hostage for 6 weeks. They had been holding them hostage the entire time, and claim to have gotten over three million dollars to let them go. Some pirates attacked an American ship yesterday that they had already attacked and taken over just seven months ago, but they weren’t successful. And, now, a British couple is believe to be held captive in waters after being missing for awhile. So, all this news is coming out, and I’m sitting here just wondering… what the hell? This is what the news is about today? Pirates still exist? Why would you want to steal a chemical vessel? I can’t believe pirates are making the news on CNN. It’s time to retire, pirates, and stop being dicks and stealing other peoples’ boats for money. Go look for a map with an X on it and find some gold, or take care of your parrot and wooden legs. They’re estimating well over three hundred pirate hijacks and attacks for 2008, and claiming that this year has been much worse. That’s about a pirate hijack a day. I can’t believe this, I guess I need to google pirate hijackings and news more often if I want to know what’s going on in my world.
