Anyone else here the bit on NPR today about pirates? They weirdly talked about pirates like Blackbeard and it segued into discussion of modern Somali pirates. They told a story of a Paul and Rachel Chandler who were held hostage by Somali pirates. This seemed a strange coincidence to me and the whole pirate conversation out of place in general.
