[quote]NEW YORK (AP) Armed with rocket propelled grenades and AK-47 assault rifles, a large group of Somali pirates boarded a ferry boat operating between Staten Island and Lower Manhattan this morning. Hundreds of passengers screamed in panic as the pirates fought their way to the bridge in an effort to capture the ship's captain and demand a ransom.

A group of four passengers were shot by the pirates as they offered the Somalis some danish, cups of coffee, and the Style section of the New York Times. The crew of the ferry managed to put out an SOS call which was picked up by a ham radio operator in New Jersey. He quickly called the Jersey City police who told him that it appeared to be a problem best handled by the NYPD.

About 15 minutes after hostilities broke out aboard the Staten Island Ferry, the pirates noticed a group of "regulars" on the boat who were sharing a large platter of lox, bagels, and cream cheese with each other. After grabbing the platter and eating all the food, the pirates seemed to start clutching their throats and getting sick. A short time later, every one of them had died. One passenger was overheard to say, "Food like that is so rich, if you're not used to it, it can just kill you!"[/quote]
