Send nudes': internet suggests alternative messages in a bottle

It may have taken 132 years to get to a beach in Western Australia, but when the world’s oldest message in a bottle was discovered, it’s contents were slightly disappointing.

The note, enclosed in a gin bottle which dates back to 12 June 1886, is believed to have been thrown from the German sailing ship Paula as it crossed the Indian Ocean.

However, rather than a dramatic plea for help or a farewell to loved ones from doomed sailors, the message related to a worthy but not very exciting experiment to track ocean currents.

Predictably, Twitter users had fun with some alternative options.
