OT- 108 year old message in a bottle from biologist's research found

[Extra Point]

A woman found a message in a bottle and it turned out to be one of many that a biologist threw into the sea for ocean current research. The postcard inside promised one English shilling as a reward, and the woman mailed in the postcard and received the shilling! The find is now recognized as the oldest message in a bottle ever found.

Did Sting send the shilling? Sorry, couldn't resist. This is a great article.

Unfortunately the post office screwed up and sent it to ESPN, and she got Curt Schilling sent to her house.
