Hmm, your .sig is all about pollution of the seas.

 Call the police.
 

Oh I knew where the quote came from - the sig is

Woke up this morning, don't believe what I saw.
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore.
Seems I'm not alone in being alone.
Hundred billion castaways looking for a call.
-- The Police, "Message in a Bottle"

it just struck me that a hundred billion bottles washing up on the shore has different connotations nowadays.
oh, and that track was released in 1979.
