       | Also, this line from the subheading is kind of ridiculous:
       | 
       | > How do you lose that in the ocean?
       | 
       | A prosthetic leg is pretty high on the list of things you might
       | easily lose in the ocean. In this case, the owner had been
       | surfing.
       | 
       | Nevertheless, cool article.

         | It does remind me of shoes on the highway, which is more
         | mundane than a limb but an ocean but turns out to have a
         | variety of mundane to wacky answers.

       | TLDR:
       | 
       | One guy goes treasure hunting in the Gulf of Mexico
       | 
       | Finds a prosthetic leg
       | 
       | Owner of the leg was an army vet / surfer
       | 
       | The leg was returned

         | the leg at the bottom of the ocean to this very day.
