On the Internet, stories never get old, even when the writers do. The latest example? The currently hot topic along the lines of “Julia Child’s first recipe was shark repellent.”
It’s been repeated several times in the last couple of weeks, the original source apparently the CIA itself (in a tweet timed to Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week”).
I know about this story because, as far as I know, I was the first one to write it, almost 15 years ago. Though, of course, with a person as public as Child, it's entirely possible it may have appeared before that.
