Heh - Reading the article on the rubber ducks, it's obvious the reporter doesn't know the difference between Flotsam and Jetsam. If it FALLS overboard, it's NOT Jetsam - Jetsam is THROWN overboard to lighten your load - aka it's intentional
Flotsam is the stuff that floats after you (or parts of your cargo) sinks - so the ducks are definately flotsam
Don't know of the word for stuff that falls overboard and sinks
