I remember when these ducks were lost. There were a number of studies done based on the routes of these ducks. Interesting, thanks.

For a mere $30,000,000. I propose to replicate this experiment. A few hundred dollars for more ducks, and $29,999,500 for a, um, report.

How did they get out of the sea container? was it an open top? Cool story and you sometimes have sea containers bobbing around the north atlantic these days.

Cute, I like it...

This is one of those simple but cool little stories.

Of course Greenpeace will start complaining that the ducks choked a polar bear or something...

You’ll get more money by writing for a grant for your experiment.
