Jack Crusto?

I started a thread in IMHO asking about how to add some detail to Billing Boats’ Jacques Cousteau’s Calypso model. So when I saw this kit on eBay I had a look (even though I already have one).

“Jack Crusto”? :confused:

Jack Crusto was a legendary oceanophile who, after retiring, became a successful pioneer in the pizza industry. In 1996 Pizza Hut recognised his achievements in this area by naming their cheese-filled pizza edges after him.

I thought everyone knew that.

I thought Jack Crusto was the name of the guy in those Pink Panther movies.

Oh come on, making fun of the spelling in eBay ads is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Er…

:smiley:

No, you’re thinking of Inspector “Nut” Cluster.

Oddly, I knew who the thread was about from the title.

No that’s the guy who got killed at Little Big Horn.

Heh. Seriously, though; “Jack Crusto”? C’mon! It’s not so much that I’m making fun of someone’s spelling; it’s that I’m agog that someone would not recognize an obvious misspelling.

Hm… Seafood pizza. Could be good. Shrimp, octopus, anchovies…
