Thank you, Jacques Cousteau

I recently recorded a television program about famed marine biologist/explorer, Jacques Cousteau's son getting into a submersible that looks and moves like a great white shark. I haven't seen the show yet, so I won't comment on the moronity of such an act just yet. I will say this -- that's just one of the first steps in what was a lifelong dream of Cousteau's.
  1.  First Cousteau went down there in a shark cage or a sub.
  2. Then, his son builds a sub that looks like a shark.
  3. His grandson then builds a special camera that he can bring with him inside an actual LIVING great white shark. (He had to build a special camera because otherwise they wouldn't give him the grant to just go out and essentially "wear" a shark.)
  4. Cousteau's GREAT grandson just shoots himself in the mouth with a speargun while shouting "Sharks!"
  5. His great-great grandson embarrasses his wife at parties by putting a jellyfish in his pants.
  6. Finally, his great-great grandson just pees into the ocean every Fourth of July.
A masterful life.
