Pirates May Save Us All

Arrh, with all the talk about global warming over the past few years, it's been easy to imagine that we will one day reach that tipping point that Al Gore warned us about.

It was therefore heart warming to read that there has been a significant surge in pirate activity in the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of Somalia.

Apparently modern pirates attack a ship with just ten people (similar to the illustration above I believe). And then later as many as 40 more show up to hold the ship, with perhaps 50 more pirates as back up on the mainland.

I have high hopes that this new surge in piracy will help slow the ravages of global warming.

For those non-Pastafarians who don't see the connection, you can learn more about it here matey.
