More bad news from Mumbai, where in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks further trouble was averted when a bomb was diffused at the Chharapati Shivaji railway station. Just another terrible sign of the times we live in, when a town which just had a terrorist attack not one week ago is already targeted for a second. It's really crazy to think people actually think they can have their radical political agenda heard if they just kill innocent civilians and destroy people's lives.

In a rare occurrence in Somalia, a bunch of scurvy pirate lads released a ship without receiving a ransom. Shocking. It seems that these dastardly sea dogs might be losing their luster after a cruise ship outran one of their vessels earlier this week and now they're consigned to handing over their booty without even getting paid handsomely. Then again, maybe they're just jaded because every time they get a ransom from a village or family, they're forced to go out and buy peg legs, frilly shirts, eye patches and big, sailor hats. 

How much cooler were pirates in the 1700s, seriously.
