Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the great men of my lifetime. I used to watch a lot of Jacques Cousteau's programs when I was a kid; I really credit my mother with exposing me to people like Cousteau and Carl Sagan when I was young and impressionable, and developing my concept of a larger world outside of our suburb.

I'm sure you know this already but just in case you don't - they're playing a whole slew of his specials all day on TCM today. (I didn't find out until this morning and so I didn't set the DVR to record them dammit!)
i am sure jacques would not be happy about what we are doing today to his beautiful seas
