My son's girlfriend has a wacky inflatable toy penguin. It carries the solemn warning that it "should NOT BE USED as a liferaft or emergency flotation device". Darn, I was going to paddle to Scandinavia - now I'll have to fly another mission!




To ut this contest into some sort of perspective, a Zilder in his late teens or early 20s ended up either dead or very nearly so, after trying to use just such a toy as a flotation device in heavy seas. Darwin Award nominee, I'm thinking.
