Doesn't anyone on a ship that size carry a firearm? Parachuting pirates would be some E-Z pickins.

Does Johnny Kemp look weirdly like Marky Mark?

Why is the money not coated with botulism or the container full of copies of Gigli?

Anyone care to guess how much money evaporated from that tanker when it was seized, versus the value of the oil it contained when it was finally released?

I expect the $145/barrel oil it was originally carrying is only about a third its value now.

So now I have that Montell Jordan song in my head. Thanks, Charles.

nappy most oil is not sold at the spot price - lots of sales today are higher than today's spot and then they were lower. Maybe the Saudis just found a great way to disguise money going to al qaeda
