I'm sure Jeremy knew about this shipwreck with 5 million LEGO's and how they have been washing ashore in the UK for the past 25 years:

Might have heard a little about this very interesting story, just not sure. Cool that so many of the washed up parts just happened to be nautically themed.

However, I am familiar with the large yellow rubber duckie spill into the North Pacific during a 1992 storm. The duckies were eventually found on coastlines around the world -- even in the Southern Hemisphere.

An enterprising oceanographer launched an internet-based citizen science campaign to track duckie sightings worldwide. As I recall, the data led to some unexpected discoveries regarding global ocean circulation patterns.

Wait, does this have anything to do with the cargo ship that was charring yo-yos and sunk 45213684521596324 times?
Practice hard and play safe.
