FlonkNews: Has Anyone Seen My Rubber Duckie?

NEW YORK: Sailors, fishermen and cruise passengers should be on the alert.

If anybody spots a yellow rubber duck bobbing on the ocean waves, NASA

would like to know.

The U.S. space agency has yet to find any trace of 90 bathtub toys that

were dropped through holes in Greenland's ice three months ago to track

the way the Arctic icecap is melting. Scientists threw the ducks into

tubular holes known as "moulins" in the Jakobshavn glacier on

Greenland's west coast, hoping they would find their way into channels

beneath the hard-packed surface, to track the flow of melt water into the

ocean.

"We haven’t heard anything from them yet," NASA robotics expert

Alberto Behar told the BBC . . . .

I know you believe you understand what you think I said,

but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not

what I meant.

They did float a rather more expensive robotic radio-drone out with the

rubber duckies, but it hasn't been heard from, either.

No, it's not. It sucks.
