Preposterous Pirates

Somali pirates recently attacked a French navy vessel in the Indian Ocean after mistaking it for a cargo ship. Alright maybe it’s just because I haven’t been keeping up with the news lately or because I don’t pay much attention to this kind of stuff, but I had no idea that pirates were still as prevalent as they obviously are today. I decided to do some more research on these pirates, expecting to see “Pirates of The Caribbean”-esque ships with cannons and flags with cross and bones. I was therefore quite surprised to see five guys driving a speedboat… I guess even pirates have progressed with the times.
