Updated: The story gets even more interesting -- the writeup in BoingBoing links off to a Sunday Times (U.K.) article, which says that the cruise ship used a sonic weapon to repel boarders:
"TheArr. -- Joe
liner used a sonic blaster to foil the pirates. Developed by American
forces to deter small boats from attacking warships, the non-lethal
weapon sends out high-powered air vibrations that blow assailants off
their feet. The equipment, about the size of a satellite dish, is
rigged to the side of the ship."

I hope they bought you lunch. Too funny.
On another note, is it ethical of AOL to use member photos submitted in one context, like a feature, elsewhere at a later date? I'm thinking of one certain animated GIF I see when I visit the Journals page when not logged onto AOL.
I understand the usage agreement, I'm just wondering about the ethics of reuse or repackaging of member submitted photos.
