Some days its tough being a pirate. The Sirius Star ransom, dropped by parachute, was reputed to be about $3,000,000. Pirates from capsized pirate motor boats have been reported drowned fleeing with their shares. One pirate's corpse washed up with $153,000 cash on his body, representing about 1/20 th share. Reports say about a half a dozen drowned while several were rescued after jettisoning their loot .Piracy has been on the rise world wide according to this pirate map. French reporters from Djibouti raised some pirates on satellite phones who expained: "We prefer hijacking ships to being on land because that way we can feed ourselves," - Abdulahi Hasan Afdhub
