Piracy is a robbery committed at sea, or sometimes on the shore, by an agent without a commission from a sovereign nation. Seaborne piracy against transport vessels remains a significant issue (with estimated worldwide losses of US$13 to $16 billion per year), particularly in the waters between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, off the Somali coast, and in the Strait of Malacca and Singapore, which are used by over 50,000 commercial ships a year.

I live in Washington DC and commute to Duesseldorf Germany for work. I am a self-professed Turbo-Dork, and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm orginally "from" Germany - but I was always too American to be "rad". Now I live in the U.S. and I am too German to be cool there, too. Therefore, I spend about as much time on airplanes going back and forth as is required to keep my equilibrium.
