Did you see the story about the pirates attempting to attack a cruise liner off the coast of Africa last weekend? This picture was taken of the "evil doers" before the cruise ship out ran them. That's not exactly how I pictured a modern day pirate ship but the guy holding the rocket launcher would get my attention.
And then there is
the story today that the cruise shipped blasted the pirates with an earsplitting noise in what is called a "sonic weapon".
