File under: Govt of Iran

#1 The pirates were angry because when they opened the cargo of the Iranian ship, several Somalis died, while others lost hair and suffered skin burns...

Oh, those poor pirates. Maybe they can sue the shipping company.

And then Iran's response. "Lies, all lies. No chem weaps were on that ship."

I have zero sympathy for either side on this one.

#2 Why don't we offer the pirates more money than Iran, and see what's in it, in front of the world. Geraldo is still around.

#3 Geraldo wouldn't go near it. Too dangerous. His hair is his life.

#4 Sounds like Lye, the instant it his water you get fumes as described, Even the water in the air if moist enough (Or a leaky hull)Other chemicals also react violently with Lye, but High school chemestry was forty-some years ago.

Any Chemists out there?

#7 Remember that Iran tried shipping nuclear material and equipment to Syria before (now *that* didn't work, ahem).
