Saw this on yahoo and thought about what people might do here. Would you open this bottle and look at the note? I probably would.

How ironic, a person goes to the trouble of putting a note in a bottle and against all odds it survives all these years then ends up in the hands of a pin head who wont open it. I bet the note sender didn't see that coming

I found one in cape cod bay this year. The note was wet and instead of drying it out I smashed the bottle to read it. It was from a kid probably thrown in not long before I found it. Found one in a river last year too again from a kid.

count me in as one of them pinheads....I wouldn`t. I have some boxes of eye drops from the `20`s and/or `30`s still intact and have no plans for opening them....they still have their seals.

The story seems to think that 106 years is the oldest message in a bottle ever. Doesn't sound right to me. I know of someone who found a hutch with a note and a railway ticket. That's probably just as old. You'd think somewhere there something hundreds of years old???

(I never answered if I would open it). It depends. You can read that thing right through the side of the bottle. If you can tell that it is a single piece of paper unfolded, it's kind of cool to leave it closed. If it's a letter that is folded over with more information inside, I'd open it.

I would just pry the top off the bottle & read it!!! He doesn't have to break the bottle.
