Three Mexican shark fishermen survived nine months at sea in a small boat by eating raw birds and fish and drinking rain water as they drifted thousands of kiloometres across the Pacific Ocean.

Sounds like a group of pirates if you ask me. Definately on the level

I've heard that it's possible to drink certain amount of sea water too.

From the article: "Mr Muller said he understood that there were five men aboard the boat when it set out from San Blas, and that two of them jumped overboard a few days into their ordeal."

I think I know what /really/ happened to the 2 other sailors....
