Hey..uh..what kind of wood doesn't float? -- Natalie.

I know, that's crude. If you're old enough to remember.
"Homicide investigators will reopen an investigation into the death of actress Natalie Wood, who drowned in 1981 while boating off the California coast..."
I was living 11 blocks 'off the California coast' in Santa Monica when that happened, and it sounded awfully fishy at that time.

Santa Catalina Island, 22 miles off the coast, has some spooky, deep-ass water - imagine a mountain peak rising out of the ocean - and Natalie Wood was terrified of water. It never smelled right to me.
