westcoast nut case bill admits he loves to read comic books thusly:

Just finished a fun novel by Clive Cussler. Our hero, Dirk PItt, used
a 25 ft. Parker w/ 275 Yamaha OB as a salvage vessel on Lake Michigan.
Sound familiar??

Nope. Nothing Cussler writes sounds familiar to anything real.

More real than your writing. And a lot more fun to read.


billie, cussler has made a lot of money writing totally off the wall stories
for little boys who fancy themselves heros for a long time.

Wasn't it cussler who wrote about the jet airliner traveling at the incredible
speed of 175 knots per hour?
