We all heard the news, and we finally got some brave sailors who did not give into these modern day pirates. They fought back and that is the way it should be. Our society is lately trying so hard to make everybody think that we should not fight back again the bully. But I believe that also leads to a future society with more sissy’s.

If I were at sea and I saw this little boat with 5  armed men, and I was in a big ship, then this is what I would do. For starters, My ship is probably 50 times larger than their little boat. Their small arms are not going to be able to sink my ship.  I also have enough steel structures and decks that will protect my crew from their small bullets. 

Well here is what I would do:

First I would let these fools think that I was surrendering, but at the same time I would send the rest of my crew to the other side of your ship for safety. Then as soon as these maggots are about to board my ship. I would smile at them and simultaneously drop a few hand grenades into their little boat. In about 5 seconds they will all be blown to bits. Now the fish will have some extra food to eat and even if I have to repair my ship afterwords, this will be well worth it. This is exactly what these pirates deserve.

I have seen similar scenes in movies and I am actually looking for a video clip to post on this blog showing the grenade going off in a little boat and going baa-boom! 

One thing that I cannot understand is: Why do none of the ships that travel in this area, carry at least a few small arms or grenades? Doesn’t anybody realize that as soon as these pirates begin to learn that most ships are protected or have security personal, they will have no choice but to go back to their internet bases Phishing schemes again.

I feel like throwing a bunch of TV mounts at these guys.

This past weekend I went to see Kevin Spacey’s new movie: 21

This is something that I had heard about for several years, it is based on a book called “Bringing down the house” The story is about how some students from MIT made millions of dollars at Casino Black Jack tables, using a mathematical skill called card counting.

To my understanding card counting is a system where you count ones, zeros = negative ones (1, 0 and -1) in rapid succession based upon the face values of the cards that are dealt at a blackjack table. If done properly you can have about a 10 percent advantage over the house. Usually the lower cards will have the value of 1 so, if more low cards are dealt first then your tally will be higher and this means you will have a mathematical advantage over the house. This is not as easy as you think, because not only do you have to know how to count very fast, you also have to have very good eye sight and coordination. Also this is something that Casino owners do not like, and I don’t blame them. Nobody like you to did into their own profits.

Another way that you can make money using statistical calculations is if you are trading in the Stock markets or Forex markets. There is actually software that you can legally use to help you predict exactly when a stock price is going to rise or fall based upon past chart trends, statistical analysis and current buying and selling pressures. I once used a program called Wizetrade that did exactly that. The program does really work, however you have to be very disciplined and follow the training and rules exactly. I also think that the market makers just like the casino operators will find ways to make you overlook your programs recommendations and instead make you interested in buying a stock that does not meet the current criteria recommended by the software program or rules.

I remember falling for these stocks and they caused me to loose money. Other users that were more disciplined did not touch those stocks, so they made the money while I was loosing it.

As for card counting, I only find it interesting to learn or be aware of, but I would never use it in a real live casino. I do not want to get beat up by angry casino security personnel. If I ever play blackjack in a casino I will just play once for fun only.

I really love movies that are of this type and which involve really smart people, and 21 is definitely that type of movie. Some other movies that I enjoyed that are also of this intellectual type are “The Game” with Michael Douglas and “A Beautiful Mind”
