Pirates!

I love pirates!!! But you don't see too many nowadays. Well apart from Steve. But just off the coast of Somalia live Pirates! And not the sort that flog knock off DVDs. Real Pirates! Granted there are no eye patch's or Oh Ares! but, Pirates they are! They took over a super tanker just off the coast of Somalia. They held the tanker and its crew hostage and asked for 100 million dollars! which considering the street value of the oil on the tanker is 500 million dollars!!! Thats not even considering the value of the ship or the human life aboard. However after harsh negotiations the pirates accepted a mere 3 million dollars. In a fight over money 5 pirates where killed as they went overboard.

I for one haven't seen or spoken to Pirate Steve in days. Well... What can I say! If you see Steve coming into school an aweful lot richer and ever so slightly smug. Well... You heard it from me first.
