The scientific use of them makes sense. Maybe they should have runs of different colors of ducks and drop them in other places in the ocean. If it is called an environmental experiment, maybe Gaia will be pleased with the offering of the ducks, rather than offended by the pollution.
This thing really is a religion for many.
There were 29,000 rubber ducks spilled in an accident, Pacific Ocean, 1992. The guys and gals behind this seized the oppertunity, as they never would have been given permission to conduct such an operation.
Some of the ducks made it to Ireland and Canada. Verified finds of these ducks has been dropping off.
A verified rubber duck from this lot is worth about $1,000 US.
The ducks fell off a cargo ship in a gale. No experiment of such scale would be permitted. If it was done in illicit manner, the results would be refused.
They got lucky.
You are we, as well.
