Dude?

This reminds me of the gifts I give on mother's day.

Links to the second page of TFA make the baby Jeebus cry Subby

Oh and tl;dr

The cargo never arrived, at least in one batch. Somewhere in the Arthur Kill tidal strait the Harold tipped, sending most of the silver bars to the bottom.

So these people are nothing more than farking salvagers. Wonderful.

I didn't see the words "gruntbuggly" or "lurgid" anywhere in the article, Subby.

In case anybody else was confused by starting in the middle of the article

I predict he will discover the silver, and it will promptly be confiscated by the State of New York.

But Hayes and company were hardly relinquishing the quest. Over the winter they developed a sampling device that can plunge deep in the mayonnaise to collect a small flake of metal from suspected silver bars, "much the same way a surgeon would biopsy a tumor," Hayes said.

Wow they have Mayo? Someone go make me a sammich!

Man thats 3 articles in the past day which linked to page 2 of an article.
Either people are forgetting to go back and get the correct link, or they are sending in pg 2 because the link has already been sent in.

Talk about entitlement. Woe is me, I didn't find $20 million.

WTF ?

Tfw!

"The cargo never arrived, at least in one batch. Somewhere in the Arthur Kill tidal strait the Harold tipped, sending most of the silver bars to the bottom. The barge's deckhands-"dumbest skunks I ever had to do with," the salvage company's owner later told the New York Times-didn't notice until docking at dawn. A secret salvage effort recovered about 85 percent of the bars, but that still left up to 1,400 "pigs" unfound. Today they could be worth $20 million."

My money is on there being no bars at the bottom, but some "dumb" deckhands retiring early back in the day.

unclecrazy99: wtf ?

BFD

Has anyone mentioned they linked to the second page of the article?

The Smithsonian Magazine is such a disappointment. I like National Geographic, but I'll read an issue of NG and then I'll read an issue of Smithsonian from the same month or a month nearby, and Smithsonian will repeat the article, but in a less interesting fashion.

For example, February 2010 Smithsonian had an article about Venus Fly Traps, which was somewhat of a boring article. March 2010 NG had an article about Venus Fly Traps and other carnivorous plants, and the article was far more in-depth, and was absolutely fascinating. During Spring Break, I went home and read the magazines that were piling up. I read NG first, so the Smithsonian article seemed redundant, even though it came out one month before.

And that is just one of many examples.

Sounds like they needed a little music to get things going:
