    Well it looks like the Pirates in Africa just got another 3.2 million for pirating ships. Maybe we should just band together, and become Pirates. It seems to pay pretty well.

    What I actually find amazing is that companies are so cheap that they won't hire a few mercenaries to protect their ships, but they will shellout 3.2 million to buy it back after it is pirated. :biglaugh:

    I would think for $3.2 mil you could hire a team of assassins to make the pirates disappear permanently.

    I've been a pirate for years. It not only pays well, it improves your digestion and your sex life. Arrr!

    I will become a pirate if provided with a fashionable hat and a comfortable corset. These are my demands.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Assassins don't work on water. That's where pirates win, in the eternal battle of pirates versus ninjas.

    Well, I now know why you wear an eyepatch. Perhaps you and 1EyedJack should switch avatars?:ghoti:
