Somali Pirates: Russians offering cruise to hunt them.In Soviet Russia,  cruise ships hunt you!

Pirate hunting cruises along the African coast are being offered by private yachts in Russia. For a little over $5,000 per day customers can sail along the coast of Somalia at low speed to entice a pirate into attacking.

Former Russian Special Forces troops are on board to make sure no harm comes to the wealthy punters. If a pirate does take the bait, they are met with machine gun, rocket, and grenade fire. For an extra fee, customers can hire an AK-47 and join in.

With the TGO staff training for marathons, we’re always looking for good running cadences.  As dog lovers, the Navy SEALs “Had A Dog Named Blue” is one of our all-time favorites.  Cadence starts at ~ 1:00 minute mark.

I had a dog, whose name was Blue,
Yah, Blue wanted to be a SEAL, too.

So, we bought him a mask and four tiny fins,

And we took him to the ocean and threw him in,

Blue came up to my surprise,
With a shark in his teeth and a gleam in his eyes.
