We still track a million or so yellow rubber ducks that pepper the oceans, from a lost container, 1992. They are helpful in tracking global sea surface currents.

If you find one on a beach, you can report it. There are sites still actively tracking.

If you are part of that we, you must be very busy.

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.

The rubber duck tracking ... interesting. Maybe silly, but interesting, anyhow. I like the stories of messages in bottles - where they came from, how long the journey was, etc.
