    Default Message In A Bottle

    Read this article today, thought it was interesting - 100-Year-Old Message In A Bottle Plucked From Baltic Sea.

    A 20-year-old wrote a message, put it in a beer bottle, and tossed it into the sea on Germany's Baltic coast.

    The bottle was found last month - and is now the Guinness World Record holder for the oldest message in a bottle.

    I'm curious about where the bottle has travelled all these years, as it was found near where Richard Platz, who died about 50, 60 years ago, launched it.

    The bottle and mostly illegible note are on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1. After that, experts will try to decipher the note.

    I think it's a cool story.
