Every day is Talk Like a Pirate day if you're sailing off the coast of Africa. These aren't the fun pirates, with cool hats, salty wenches, and scurvy dogs, ya bilge rats. The modern day pirates are hijacking oil supertankers and holding them for ransom.
Various navies are churning to the area to send these bastards to Davy Jones locker.
If you'd like some real-time reports via a Google Maps type interface on what these Cap'n Jacks are up to, check out the live piracy map maintained by the International Maritime Bureau. You can click on the little push pins and get the gory details. Arrrrr.
