Arrrrrrrg

I think we can all agree that we're relieved the captain of the Maersk Alabama was finally rescued over the weekend and that the pirate threat has been (temporarily) nullified by some sharp shooting Navy SEALs. (see story here) Piracy in the modern era has become a real threat to lives and property, and bears no resemblance to the "glamorous" characters in the semi-entertainment Disney movies.

That said, let's all pause to make light (again temporarily) of the problems that plague the Indian Ocean and enjoy the idea of actual seals and pirates locked in mortal combat on the high seas.
