#2 Silly Russians.

Estonia has never had pirates.

But we did have Vikings. We even went to Sweden once and burnt down a city.

#3 Chased down by two (count 'em) TWO nuclear subs and a gang of unfriendly Spetznaz.

Cargo of lumber.

Uh-huh.

#6 The Russian spokesman refuses to confirm or deny the involvement or presence of UFO's, a giant, dinosaur-like amphibious reptile, the Ark of the Covenant, or a coffin from Transylvania.

#8 It's more a case of "why would you bother to respond at all".
