Where are the Russians? Have they perfected the knock-out gas yet?

This must be a case of mistaken identity. As we all "know", Islam is a religion of peace, and therefore Muslims would "never" be involved in such things as piracy and using guns to take over ships like this. My gut tells me these Somali gunmen are actually Baptists or Methodists.

It''s quite a simple philosophy. These pirates are criminals. There are criminals all over the world, of many different so called back grounds. You may find this hard to believe, but there are Christians who commit crimes too.

Well, that''s what he''s calling himself now.
First rule of pirating is, when in a standoff, never ever ever give your real name.

One torpedo and then everyone goes home.

[newsjunky5]

Whoa. The pirates are using psy-ops against us.
They''re messin'' with our heads, man.
