Boy, that French submarine was an odd-looking duck. I'm surprised anyone would feel a need for such a hybrid vessel. Considering some of the creatures discovered to have lived in the distant past - found through their fossils - I'm certain I would not have liked to live in any of those eras. I'm rather reluctant about this one now, in fact. I've read about "Black Beauty" helping animals, but I didn't know it was written for that purpose. And I dislike to disagree with the article's writer, but "Plan 9 From Outer Space" was bad, just straight out horrible. Period.
