- sockpuppets, on 05/26/2009, -1/+4Thus officially making the word "failboat" a reality.
- johnomaz, on 05/26/2009, -4/+6Wouldn't it be ironic if his boat sinks on the voyage and helps to pollute the pacific.
- ta10n, on 05/26/2009, -1/+3These guys did something similar last year: http://junkraft.blogspot.com/
And she is rowing solo across the Pacific: http://rozsavage.com/ - sockpuppets, on 05/26/2009, -0/+2Perfectly normal, perfectly natural.
- jull1234, on 05/26/2009, -0/+2Plastiki, lol.

- jull1234, on 05/26/2009, -0/+1wait they're filling the boat with co2? that's funny too.
- BeforeSputnik, on 05/26/2009, -2/+3Trying to draw attention to the problem of plastic waste is admirable. I hope he makes it and i hope it gets more press. We are only going to change our plastic dependency with a mass movement. Limit your plastic usage/purchases, and remember to recycle.
- creoderiot, on 05/26/2009, -1/+1Check out Papa Neutrino. He's already done it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa_Neutrino
- mikedoth, on 05/26/2009, -1/+1Sadly, it's there. Water world has begun!
- Cerebron, on 05/26/2009, -1/+1Not really news.
- Jucken, on 05/26/2009, -4/+3Your shipment of fail is on its way!
- markgl, on 05/26/2009, -3/+2WTF? This is stupid as balls.
- CuttyRed, on 05/26/2009, -6/+4His dream is to make it to the great Pacific trash island.
- jollyroger814, on 05/26/2009, -9/+6I can't wait for this to be followed by: "Man dies trying to sail across pacific in boat made of recycled plastic." Hopefully there are some 6 pack plastic separators that some fish can get stuck in.
- harris2004, on 05/26/2009, -10/+5Accomplishment of stupidity.
