    PIRATES!

    On Thursday, pirates seized the Ukrainian ship Faina en route to Kenya with 33 Russian-built T-72 tanks and a substantial quantity of ammunition and spare parts. Russia's navy said Friday it had dispatched a warship to the area, and the United States said American naval ships were tracking the Ukrainian ship with special concern because of the weaponry on board.
    wow, i thought pirates had gone extinct. there wasn't a nuke on that ship was there?

    Why wouldnt pirates still exsist? Or are we thinking about Disney pirates were everyone has eye patches and peglegs? Pirate just means someone who steals things while on the sea.

    pirating is stealing, what i do on a daily basis is copying illegally.
    learn the difference, could save your life.

    I was looking for a video I saw once, where a ninja jumped out in front of a pirate, and the pirate shot it. Instead, I found this video.

    I was listening to some other music that I didn't bother to turn off when I watched that video, and it synced up almost perfectly... probably better than whatever was in the video. o.O

    Song was Sound Horizon - Moira - Doreitachi no Eiyuu

    Love when stuff like that happens!

    Modern pirate attacks have been steadily increasing for a while, something like $44 billion in goods is lost annually from their attacks. And no there wouldn't be a nuke on board due to the NPT thank god, in which case Jack Bauer would make a better defense plan then ninjas

    Yeah, and the sad part is that the Pirates in Philiphines and Indonesia are also Philiphines/Indonesia's marine. They pay from government is too low that usually these become their part time job whenever they off duty
