    I heard recently that a Russian oligarch was running 'pirate-blasting tours' for his fellow million/billionaires: they charter a large yacht and pose as tourists in the western Indian Ocean to attract the pirates, but have a large amount of ordnance plus ex-special forces on board, so that when the pirates attack, the Russian and his rich friends plus their professional back-up blow them out of the water; apparently Russian big-spenders are willling to shell out the odd $million for such a trip.

    Yeah, I also read Scott Adams went to Fuller Theological Seminary. But then it goes on to say they attended a catholic church. I'm wondering if he didn't understand what he learned there and what Catholicism teaches?

    Sounds like a possible way to end the problem permanently! [​IMG]

    Russian oligarchs are faster on the draw than American oligarchs? Amazing!
