[A map of 2008 pirate attacks](http://www.icc-ccs.org/index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=visualization&controller=visualization.googlemap&Itemid=89) may be of interest to y’all. It’s pretty cool, you can click through to the detailed report. I love how our world is filled with data!
Notice the complete lack of pirates in the North Atlantic and North Pacific, for example.
