Speaking of Somalia

Somali Pirates

I didn't bother to blog about the pirates since everyone else was talking about it. I have been blogging about them for a while now. Obviously since they have operated without serious consequences and have made a great deal of money they are undeterred. I'm sure the threat of an American jail has them very worried now since they live in Somalia for fucks sake.

Congrats to the shooters though for a job well done.

Somali karma

This is the dramatic moment a ransom of $3million was paid to Somali pirates to end the world's biggest ship hijacking.

The canister full of cash was parachuted onto the Sirius Star - observed by the U.S. Navy who provided these images - and the two-month ordeal of the 25 crew, including two Britons, was finally over.

However things went badly wrong for the pirates soon after the drop - they squabbled over how to split the money and then a wave washed off their getaway boat and drowned five of them.

Hey sharks gotta eat you know?
