[41magsnub]

The pirates "fell" into the ocean.

Well done!  Needs to happen more often.

I like stories with happy endings. 

[Bob F.]

Well done, indeed!

[rcnixon]

Yay!

The Taiwanese have been training to fight the PLA for decades.  Six hapless Somali pirated didn't stand a chance.  "Fell into the sea" indeed.

I wonder if they were unfortunate enough to find themselves tied tangled to something heavy as they fell into the water .

[Northwoods]

Their fate is not known.

Unless they were within sight of shore, and not bleeding, I don't think there's much speculation needed to figure that out.

[White Horseradish]

Can there be a more classic kung-fu movie scene than fishermen helping pirates accidentally fall overboard?

[just Warren]

This is tragic! They did not deserve this! Those pirates victims of the violence inherent in the system were just beginning to turn their lives around!

I'm aware that we're talking about Taiwanese fishermen and Somali pirates, however, is this evidence admissible in the case of Pirates vs. Ninjas?

It's a good corollary, at least.

Are you sure they were fisherman?  Couldn't they have been Ninjas throwing nets over their ancient nemisises the sea creatures?

Remember, nobody actually saw them, now did they?

Ninjas rule!

stay safe.

Ninjas are Japanese, not Taiwanese.

Not sure what you'd call the Chinese equivalent . . . Shaolins? Tongs? Or just plain Assassins?

In any case - good job!

So fishing would be a good cover for the APS Fistful's Fault     


On one side you have the pirates, and on the other side the US Navy ...
