http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy_in_the_Strait_of_Malacca

Today we were warned of passing through the strait of Malacca. Apparently there are lots of problems with pirates there and the plan for the day after tomorrow when we'll be passing through it goes a little something like this: we'll be traveling at our maximum speed, which is rumored to be around 40 knots (more than double our average speed,) with crew members in the front with high-pressure firehoses in case pirates tape magnets to their hands and try to climb up the side of the boat. No joke. My life is a bond movie.

and i agree. maybe you will be romanced by a johnny depp-esque pirate. if you see one that resembles orlando bloom however, punch that sissy in the face!
