from the Learn Something New Every Day dept:

Ever hear of the Baltic Dry Index? Me neither. Seems like it might be important, though.
If they were smart, they'd make the carriers watertight, then come up with a prow and flotation device to attatch to the sides. I'll admit, though, the boat's are cheaper.

    No wonder the index is in the duldrums...that doesn't look like a very efficient way of getting cargo containers to port. ;-)

    Actually, if you click on the picture, it'll take you to a story about those crates in boats.
