I misssed this thread the first time around. Hers's some useless but interesting trivia: One of the Carl Barks Scrooge stories concerned raising a sunken treasure ship by filling it with ping pong balls. Years later, a ship sunk in Kuwait harbor. It was loaded with sheep. Since the Kuwaitis get there water from the sea (they have a desalinization plant), a shipload of rotting sheep in their drinking water was not a good thing. A lot of attempts were made to raise the ship, but none worked. Eventually, someone who had read the comic when he was a kid decided to try it. They didn't use ping pong balls, but something larger. It worked. Carl Bark's ducks saved the day. Tell this story to anyone who thinks you're wasting your time reading comic books.
