One of my moms good friends is a retired LNG tanker pilot. He is a real nice guy, and has some interseting stories about piracy.

One of his good friends tankers was high-jacked and every one on board was murdered including his pregnant wife.

Usually the pirate boats come from behind, and if the tanker sees them they will just shine a light on them and they go away. Because once the crew sees them they cant get on board with the fire hoses and such.

"The attack took place 39 nautical miles southwest of Penang island, he said."

I think we need some ninjas on the sea's to keap those pirates in check.


Some robots too.
AH! A voice of reason!


Ninjas and pirates are natural enemies.


But what happens if the pirates are Japanese?
Does that mean there's a race of super Ninja Pirates?



Nobody could stop them. Cause they would, like, flip out and kill people all day long..........
