Somali pirates attacked the U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama for the second time in seven months. I still don't understand how these pirates are taking over huge ships. Don't the crews on board have weapons to protect themselves, especially after all of the previous attacks? That is not the only thing that has me wondering what people are thinking sometimes.

Via a partnership with Vitamin Water, 50 Cent's free iPhone app allows users to create and share their own mixes of the rapper's latest single, "Baby By Me," off his new album Before I Self Destruct.
