Why a message in a bottle? I'm going to put my DNA in a bottle. Just think what they will do with that in 50 to 100 years from now. That will be a message with a game. They will have to figure out who I was with my DNA and then try to figure out my age to put a date on me. Forget the message that makes it fun, DNA will be even a greater task of fun!

like in American Pie 1?

The finder of the bottle might not think of using DNA to solve the puzzle of who tossed the bottle and when the bottle was released into the ocean, or maybe not be that interested having just picked up a "pretty bottle" for his or her collection or use in as decor in a family room or den. Also, how much does a DNA examination cost, now and in the future? Will everyone be willing to spend money to "solve" this mystery? Will the finder know where to find a DNA lab willing to do the analysis? Personally, I think the "old fashioned" note in a bottle describing what is expected is the better way to go. DNA can still be provided with a suggestion that examination be pursued. Good luck and good hunting. Maybe, someday you will find your own bottle and add a Post Script to the message inside.

John,

As you can see, people are just out there looking for anything to argue with. I like your idea, as long as it's not that "pale ale" lol. A lock of hair in a tiny ziploc bag would probably be enough, and as for the cost? As we have seen, a lot of things
go down in cost as time goes by (think computers, video cameras...etc.) Sorry there are so many party poopers out here trying to ruin the fun! :D
