Despite persistent rumors, encouraged by some Islamic publications and websites, Cousteau did not convert to Islam, and when he died he was buried in a Roman Catholic Christian funeral.
Jacques Cousteau. Islam. Oooooookay. Never heard that one, but whatever gets you through the night.
(It looks like there’s a lot of Jacques Cousteau
on DVD. And I didn’t realize Rod Serling did the narration, but I don’t think I’ve seen it since I was a child. I hope it holds up better than some of those other TV shows from that time.)
(This was prompted by two things. The second one was a conversation with my brother about the Coney Island Applebee’s incident, during which he revealed that his oldest boy is a big fan of Tanked. Now, I admit I didn’t have good taste in television as a child (neither did my brother, but we’ll get to that later), but we’ve gone from Jacques Cousteau exploring the ocean to people building elaborate fish tanks. It makes me kind of sad.)
