I am pretty sure you're correct.  I don't have Dave Berry's
article here (since 7 of my 8 computers are in TN ;)) to look up
exactly what he wrote, but I am pretty sure I was drawing a
COMPOSITE of Lloyd Bridges's hose-cutting and Agent 007's tank-
torpedo diving adventures and gave all the credit to Lloyd.  :-)

Or the sharks, or the morays with 1,328,928,099 (con't quote me
on the exact number) teeth -- all in the SAME Dave Berry article!

I am sure many of you know exactly which of Dave Berry's article
