Turtlevision

The current issue of Beachcomber's Alert print newsletter features an incredible story about a digital camera in waterproof housing, lost by a diver in Aruba, found six months later in Key West. The super-amazing part of the story is that when the finder looked at the images on the camera, it ended with a movie of the camera floating in the middle of the ocean. After lots of consultation they figured out it had been intercepted by a loggerhead turtle who somehow triggered the record button and dragged it along for awhile. Turtlevision movie!! I think it's totally beauteous - definitely deserves a best director nomination.
