I've been wondering myself. I'm been monitoring both the website and the twitter. Haven't found anything yet.

It was around 1 PM EST last week if I remember correctly, which would be in about 10 minutes or so if I'm right.

Ok, I'm not going to lie, I'm starting to get impatient. Out of boredom I checked to verify and the last batch did go live at 1 PM EST...Guess the PM's are running behind today... Confused

How can you people play this game when there is a petition going around to change shark week's misleading content?
There were less than 60 shark attacks WORLDWIDE last year, and only 4 deaths. Meanwhile, there are now 30+ sharks on the endangered species list.

It's like an ARG promoting social intolerance based on negative stereotypes. The only difference is it's with animals instead of humans.

*coughs* Troll. *coughs* With all due respect, I'll refrain from saying what I would like to say regarding the situation. You are a firm believer of PETA's principles, correct?

My favorite meal is Surf n Turf.

EDIT: I will say no more. My purpose was to point out the flaws in this "game." Play if you want. Just stop and think about who and what you are supporting.

vpisteve was the first to the L.A. Coral Sea drop, and it wasn't even there yet!

I think they are making extra-sure that no one attempts a find and walks away empty-handed because it wasn't even there to find yet.

Alright, then the conversation can remain on a fairly level platform. I do understand the the stereo type of a "JAWS" frame of mind. Double check the reports to see how many of the victims were attacked by sharks. Do you find any notice that sometimes the people who were attacked had an injury of some kind? I know of two friends who were attacked by sharks. Both were dumb enough to have a cut or scrape releasing blood into the water, and as you know, that's one of the ways the sharks hunt. Since that bit of information was left out of the reports, that allowed others minds to think the sharks attack without provocation, when it was really the fault of the victims. That was to show you where I stand on the matter. To me, as I said, the perpetuated stereotype exists due to the fear, the "JAWS" mentality, if you will. Personally, the few attacks were, in my opinion that the sharks were just being what they were designed for. It can go wither way.

Oh, and a few more minutes until coordinates are ready.

Yeah, those were my thoughts as well. FrenziedWaters said as much on the last tweet.

I just get impatient sometimes... Embarassed

I suppose that it's too much to hope that someone does a drop in Tokyo. Too bad.. I'd love one of those jars for myself! Very Happy
