    Nuke bombs that just tick - scare the hell out of everyone going near... and if sensors detect people around too long, it starts to glow and get red hot:D:D:D

    One just needs a bog lump of steel, drop it in an appropriate location and aim Ronny Reagan's space wars lasers at it and watch by satellite camera... Would make hilarious "reality TV" for a while, particularly if the lasers were not very accurate and the desert sands got hot too:D:D:D:D

    I seem to have a difficult time communicating here - Not what the pirates think, but what the world thinks. Jeez!
    Freak waves are proven real and common. We know them as rougue waves on this side.
    Boston, wrong again! Gotta be a "consistancy" ribbon somewhere for you... I'm the least racist person you've never met but I do get sick of people ragging on my countries.

    I still like those big round semi floating iron balls with spikes on them that puncture hulls.

    One cool way of getting rid of old wrecks would be to put a GPS on it, guide it to the proper spot and explode it to sink right in front of Somalia. That way it is easy to get rid of them old wrecks and before you know it they won't have a coast line any more. That will put a cap on their piracy.

    Fanie, they explode when metallic hulls kiss them - little cheap "banana boats" and 4 people on board - expensive system - as "mines" can be easily cut from their moorings and then float and do damage to "goodies"...?

    Don't know if its been mentioned here;

    The area ouside Somali is also used for a number of fishermen, going after the Tuna. The fishermen going after the Tuna need/ have fast boats. The Tuna likes the shadow and speed of the bigger ships, so; the fishermen going for the Tuna, sometimes also gets quite close to the bigger ships...

    Makes it difficult to determine early enough if its a fisher or a pirate coming close...

    Can't shoot after a man trying to make an honest income, an honest income in those areas is probably difficult enough as it is already....

    However, whats wrong with tripwires alongside deckheight connected to flares/ barrels of gasoline tipping into the sea? Bet they'd leave the boarding anchor hanging and prepare for a quick return home...

    Come to think of it... bet some have already rigged something like that.:D

    Even the tuna would run a mile.

    Mars attacks. Slim Whitman. Guys laughed at the timing and second level humor. Girls didn't get it and hated the shallowness and bad effects.

    You made me laugh out loud.

    Mars attacks, what a hysterically funny movie! I even got the Mars Attacks Christmas lights, probably still have them in a box somewhere.

    Mars attacks, that's the one. Now all we have to find out what music lets Somalian's explode, play that on every boat just before they board :D You don't want them to explode while on the boat, someone will have to do the cleaning. Watch somalians explode on youtube, ww w.youtu be.co...

    Had an old chap work with me that was in the 2nd world war (I'm not that old, he was :D), he was on a boat for months, said they had one record, Oh Solo Mio and the homesick crew played it over and over non stop and no he doesn't want to hear it ever again ;)

    Bravo Zulu to those SEALS (those that need to know know what I mean the rest can go fcuk)

    Don't go down to their level my arse, go even lower - they know what'll happen when you show 'em how low and mean you can go! Make Guantanamo seem like a holiday camp

    Then and only THEN will the pirates go elsewhere......................hey I could become a pirate, with youse guys it would be easy peasy! Boo Hoo make the bad man go away, pay him lots of money!
