Message in a Bottle, for real!

A girl sent a message in the bottle in the 1989 when she was 8.

A guy found it now in 2008. Surprisingly it made it across the Atlantic Ocean...

Message in bottle travels thousands of miles - MSN Video

I may end up weighing 500lbs but I'll still find a way to pull it off sexily at the nudist colony. ~ysabel

One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace, good people don't go into government.

She should get fined for polluting.

(The video isn't loading or something, however I think I get it without seeing it)

It's interesting how this turned out. That bottle was in the ocean for all these years and it just finally shows up? I think somebody should put a camera in a bottle, around the bottle and follow it through it's journey.

Thoughts of the movie, Message in a Bottle.

This would make a nice plot for a new movie, family drama based not love story. Maybe you can write about it Hybrix in one of your marathon moments.

If they could get a camera that was durable enough and had a long enough battery life, I think that would actually be quite interesting. I wouldn't want to be the person that had to watch all that video though.

Why not? It's not that long. Just 19 years of your life.

That is really exciting. This doesn't happen very often, so I think it is really cool when it does happen. I wish I would find a message in a bottle =(
