maybe someone can clean up that bottle a bit.

as far as bottle with a message in it, that may be a toughie...

Okie, looks a bit weird at the bottom...maybe someone could
accentuate the curve of the bottle?

Otherwise:
              
             (~)
             | |
             | |
            /   \
           |     |         /@
           |     |        // 
           |     |       // 
           |     |      //
           |     |     //
           ~-,.,-~     ~

Someone put this message into the bottle? :)

Then I diddled...  

                                         TP
                                       .dP

                                   """""

I smoothed out the water...  was making me sea sick. <G>  Also, I think 
the quotes do a good job of making a ripple in the water and rounding out 
the bottom of the bottle.  Don't know how you'd put a message in it, though.
