pirate watch: day 8

The thing with the Somalian pirates hijacking the Ukrainian ship full of tanks has been in the paper every day for a week, and a group of us have started following it at lunch. Lunchs haven't really had a story arc until now.

Today's news:

"Somali pirates on a hijacked cargo ship holding battle tanks and hostages said Thursday that they were ready to battle any commando-style rescue attempt."
