3. Just in..Another unmanned sub goes missing (British)
http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article792261.ece

First the Americans lost contact with a remote-controlled submarine used during some NATO exercises earlier this month. Now the British have lost one of their subs as well, and officials are baffled.

4. Searching for mines?
Really?

That doesn't jive with the "highly sensitive equipment." It doesn't require top-secret technology just to troll for mines.

Very "fishy."

5. Mystery solved!
Note the British ship that alerted other ships to the disappearance: ' Minesweeper HMS Penzance.'

AHA, it's obviously the work of the pirates of Penzance! Need further proof? Consider that this is a leap year.

8. What Do You Expect?
The mini-subs were both in the infamous Norwegian Triangle.
