Can a castaway survive on fish, plankton, and seawater?
In 1952, French physician Alain Bombard set out to cross the Atlantic on an inflatable raft to prove his theory that a shipwreck victim can stay alive on a diet of seawater, fish, and plankton. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll set out with Bombard on his perilous attempt to test his theory.
We'll also admire some wobbly pedestrians and puzzle over a luckless burglar.
