Wish I was a Cousteau

Tintin-shark.jpg

Fabien Cousteau (grandson of Jacques) always wanted a shark-sub like Tintin, so when he grew up he built one. Ostensibly, the shark-sub will aid in research, allowing the scientist (in the Jane Goodall fashion) to be one with the beast (or at least a "retarded cousin from Australia," as Fabien puts it). The deeper reason, I suspect (blame Wes), is that he just wants to ride around in a shark-sub pretending he's Tintin searching for treasure, and that's why the Cousteau family is so damn gully.
