You never know: maybe this could be a GOOD thing?
Surely there’s some gold coins or a yen or two included in here somewhere…
Up to 20 million tons of debris from Japan’s tsunami moving toward Hawaii
Some 5 to 20 million tons of debris–furniture, fishing boats, refrigerators–sucked into the Pacific Ocean in the wake of Japan’s March 11 earthquake and tsunami are moving rapidly across the Pacific. Researchers from the University of Hawaii tracking the wreckage estimate it could approach the U.S. West Coast in the next three years, the UK Daily Mail reports.
“We have a rough estimate of 5 to 20 million tons of debris coming from Japan,” University of Hawaii researcher Jan Hafner told Hawaii’s ABC affiliate KBBV.
Bring on the bounty...
Crew members from the Russian training ship the STS Pallada “spotted the debris 2,000 miles from Japan,” last month after passing the Midway islands, the Mail wrote, ”They saw some pieces of furniture, some appliances, anything that can float, and they picked up a fishing boat,” said Hafner. The boat was 20-feet long, and was painted with the word “Fukushima.” ”That’s actually our first confirmed report of tsunami debris.”
I could use a fishing boat…to sell on Craigslist anyway.
In fact, I could use a lot of stuff to sell on Craigslist…
People are nuts. They’ll buy anything. And put them in a competitive bidding situation? They’ll REALLY buy anything.
Maybe a little site called “Tsunami Treasures” or maybe “Fukushima Flotsam” and I can continue to pay the rent for a few months? Hmmm…

I suggest you open the Dehydrator Club in here, only for VIP members, ten of them, and for a 20$ fee each you include all of them in the plot of your next book, talk in your blog about how well moistured is their skin, and make them daily virtual presents to make their day for a month.
I subscribe. Nine more to go and we close the deal.

When the debris comes floating by, claim you found a child clinging to it. People will believe anything and it should at least get you on one of the Fox affiliates to gain a little fame.
Start training a local to play the part of the child. Crazy? Almost all the news outlets bought into the story of a kid carried away on balloons last year!
LOL!
Romulus and Remus, Moses, Perseus, Sargon of Akkad, a japanese deity, brought to Maui surfing a tsunami inside a basket, suckled by a capitoline she-Wolf, living with an alaskan hairy beast in a green hut….
