The Only Bad Thing Was That They Missed Pirate Day, Which Was a Couple of Days Ago on the Blogs

Not gonna lie--I'm sort of impressed: “We just saw a big ship,” the pirates’ spokesman, Sugule Ali, told The New York Times. “So we stopped it.”

They are brave: "You only die once."
They have imaginations: "Think of us as the coast guard."
They are ambitious, and even kind: “Killing is not in our plans,” he said. “We only want money, so we can protect ourselves from hunger.” When asked why the pirates needed $20 million to protect themselves from hunger, Mr. Sugule laughed over the phone and said: “Because we have a lot of men.”

Whoever thought of calling the pirates to interview them aboard the ship they took over was genius, no question.
