Men in two small boats approached the Seabourn Cruise Line ship Spirit about 100 miles off the Somali coast, fired on it, and tried to board in an apparent bid to rob passengers and crew, cruise line spokesman Bruce Good said.

''I looked out of the window and saw a small boat with about five people in it about 20 yards away," said Norman Fisher, 55, a passenger.

''They were firing the rifle and then fired the rocket launcher twice. One of the rockets certainly hit the ship. It went through the side of the liner into a passenger's suite."

... but at least they aren't distributing MP3s on the internet, right?

They didn't seize it, or even board it.

You're lacking a LOT of equipment.

I know... That boat I've figured out where to get it, it's the chopper that's a problem.

Well first off you're all a bunch of fucking boring fuckwits with too much time on your hands. Second, unless you're fucking mental you should realize I'm kidding. Third, I wouldn't be caught dead trying to rob anything, let alone a fucking cruise ship. So...
