Thought I would create a thread for everybody's random ramblings, (try saying that after a few whiskeys) Of which I have decided I have too many ,

Pirates, in the 21st Century



PIRATES have seized the biggest booty ever taken on the high seas, capturing a fully-laden Saudi oil supertanker and its multinational crew, among them two British merchant seamen. The Sirius Star - three times the size of an aircraft carrier and carrying its full complement of two million barrels of crude oil worth at least $US100 million ($154 million) - was hijacked in the early hours of Sunday 450 nautical miles southeast of Mombasa in Kenya, according to the US Fifth Fleet.

"This is unprecedented," Lieutenant Nathan Christensen, spokesman for the fleet said yesterday. "It's the largest ship that we've seen pirated."

wow apparently piracy is pretty common in the Caribbean and off the coast of Africa, scary stuff.
