A say take a dozen yachts, fill them with SAS and Seals, and let them float off the Somali coast. It will not help this Brit couple, but it might make the pirates second guess their current business plan. Then again, probably not...

Yes, a truly chilling story, and who would think the guys who escaped would perish. This stuff always reminds me of "The Perfect Storm." A dangerous, dangerous lifestyle. RIP to those lost.

Not like the Somali pirate situation is a new event. What were they thinking??? Can`t blame a momentary lapse of reason for this one.

I have heard the same as fds---it is seemingly a matter of all metro trains being so close to homes, that they just don`t run trains 24/7 so people can sleep. For me, it is a 15,000 yen ride home from downtown Tokyo if I miss the last train, so…

75 years is fine, but I don`t agree with total abolishment. Advances in criminal investigative techniques are solving many older, serious crimes. Why let a murderer or sex offender get away with their actions...or let a rich child rapist hide in France for 30 years...

GLAY are very talented musicians, and their music around the Pure Soul era was pretty good stuff. Winter Again is a favorite. But I agree, recent records have been predictable and uninteresting. Still, good to see they get what is due to them.

They probably all called in sick from work, and now their photos are pasted online. I agree, pathetic.

Well Joji, us Mariner fans were frustrated too. Two seasons worth of injuries and a declining batting average was just about enough. Hopefully we`ll see you at the Yahoo Dome...
