    So the Jackson chatter slowed Twitter? Ha! So did news of my Aunt Gracie's gout.

    @deardearfriend: You wouldn't expect this, because Twitter has 140 characters in a post, while Jackson was limited to 1*.

    So what if they were "17-19"? (By which it seems at least one of them was an adult even by the legal US definition, which is not the same as the legal definition in other parts of the world.) They violently boarded a ship and were holding a hostage with AK-47's. They made their beds.


    It's sad when anybody dies, but you know, it's not any sadder that they were 17-19 than it would have been if they were 20 or 30 or 40. And they brought it on themselves.

    Where is the article that will explain to me how stoned impoverished teen agers get control of these gigantic first world country tankers? Like do they throw a rope and climb up and just....take over??

    Clearly the dolphins are cognizant of the increase in Chinese global influence in the 21st century. Ergo: Game recognize game.

    Um, is no one else thinking Batman 2 when Danny Devito's disgusting penguin man (most vile thing I've ever seen in a superhero movie) affixed missiles onto the backs of littler penguins? Yeah, I'm thinking those cute little dolphin dudes were packing heat. It's all part of the military's new Operation: Sonar Command.

    Of course they were teenagers and by most crime family/organization standards I think they are old. I don't know the laws in Somalia but if they are minors they can't be tried. Look at the Camorra. Plus, you get to brainwash them early. I'm shocked that others are shocked. This is new?

    @CaptainFantastic: point taken, ur right, which just fortifies my contention that they were already OLD by crime standards. I mean even suicide bombers start young.

    Are dolphins communists? Flipper quotes Chair Mao? [squeak, squeeek, squeeak?] As they are holding a Mike Nichols retropsective at MoMA everyone can go see "Day of the Dolphin."

    What's the difference between a pirate and Graydon Carter? Graydon doesn't lament his littleness.

    Why didn't the pirates just send their parrots to attack the dolphins? Animal Wars: Parrots V. Dolphins™ could be a smash hit.
