Rubber ducks flock to New England

[avram]

Eleven years ago a container of thousands of bathroom toys — rubber ducks, turtles, frogs, etc. — fell off a cargo ship going from China to Seattle. Oceanographers have been tracking the swarm of toys, and learning about ocean currents. The flock of 29,000 toys has travelled around the Arctic, and they should soon be beaching themselves on New England shores.
