Pirates armed with rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns attacked a cruise ship off Somalia on Saturday, but the vessel managed to evade capture.

:helpme :helpme :helpme

Countdown until chio enters the thread: 3

BTW love this bit: "'Not terrorism'"

Mental note: Any cruise ships heading to Africa ... avoid.

Actually, I've heard similar things have happened in the Mediterranean too. There are real-life pirates, and they don't look like Chio!

Did they fight them off with their shuffleboard sticks?

What does Chio have to say about this?

The chaos is slowly creeping into the world.
Count down until someone uses a racial slur.

Aaaargh!

Why the fuck would anyone want to go on a cruise to Somalia?

To see the pirates

Experienced travellers who have done the Hawaii, Caribbean, London, NY, Paris thing many times already and are looking for something new and different.

They used some kind of sonic weapon that produced a loud bang and scared them away, apparently.

Yeah..when I heard it on the news I wanted to know more about that bit.
