Piracy Increasing

The Cap'n's crack team of analysts (viz., analysts who are on crack; they haven't any actual skill) are closely monitoring this news that piracy is on the rise. Literal piracy, on the oceans, with boats and cannon and swords and parrots and vibrating wood — not that two-bit poor-imitation copyright violation gutlessness. <ptooie!>

Reason #4687 to support the War Against Terrorism: With the U.S. Navy away, it's fun to be a pirate today! Arrr!

Hat tip to Dan for alerting me to this important news.
