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. :-) >For a long time, a lot of folks figured that other divers with >knives were the primary risk of diving. 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 I am talking about. It's on my BHD in Nooga. -- Bob.
