Joe P. wrote that the sunken kayak was "probably not an antique since
it's an SOT." 

If it's an SOT, it's most likely plastic.  And if it's plastic -- and if
it's 36 years old, for pete's sake -- it probably would have been better
turned into picnic spoons 20 years ago.  Plastic doesn't age gracefully.
It cracks, it breaks and, apparently, it sinks.  Sorta.  But it's off to
the deep ocean on its first launch.  The whole thing sounds bogus.

The Darwin Awards were cheated on this one.  Give the guy a big Delta
Sierra -- for Navy folk.
