On it they found five men but no weapons, water or food as the pirates had apparently thrown all of the boat's contents overboard, the spokesman said.
even the water and food. I don't think they understand how evidence is used in a court.

Or maybe if they were trying to escape getting rid of weight would make them faster?

According to the environmental watchdog Ecoterra International, at least 163 attacks have been carried out by Somali pirates since the start of 2009 alone, 47 of them successful hijackings.

That doesn't seem like very good odds at all. This world needs better pirates.

I wouldn't think so, because they don't have things like "courts" or "rule of law" in Somalia.

Why wouldn't they just shoot them and dump the bodies in the water?  I mean shit if someone accidentally tried to hijack my naval battleship I don't think we would be letting them ride back with us.

Oh c'mon, the French gave us mayo, and they believe in aliens (I think I read that), and... Monte Cristo sandwich? That's theirs? and they, uh. Well, I guess you're right. Nevermind.

Welcome to France! Where it's perfectly acceptable to go to Thailand, fuck little boys in the ass, and then write novels about it, but don't shoot back at criminals who are trying to kill you! That'd be just... wrong...

And try the goose liver, it's tres magnifique...

I'm morally opposed to goose liver, pedophilia, and anti-gun laws. But mainly goose liver. I did have fun in Paris. Of course, that is but a small part of France.

FYI: Goose liver tastes pretty nice, I'm just a failing vegetarian. Thus, poseur moral opposition.

A nicely seared foie gras is disgustingly delicious.

True. That and maybe cuz they realize that these "pirates" are largely just desperate fishermen who can no longer fish their waters. I don't condone what they're doing, but man, Somalia is fucked.

Garr! Joe's be the only place for Steve!

It's kind of a shame that I didn't really pick up the Cornish accent, despite having grown up there. Cornish and pirate accents are pretty much interchangeable.
