Things I Learned from Amazon.com: Martin Caidin's Secret Identity

According to http://www.amazon.com/Star-Bright-Martin-Caidin/dp/0553126210, famed author Martin Caidin, who wrote the novels Marooned (which led to the eponymous movie) and Cyborg (thus engendering The Six Million Dollar Man and all his bionic kin), turns out to be a pseudonym for Vanessa Williams, singer and actress. Is there no end to her talents?

*sigh*

It never occurred to me before today, but working at The Onion must be really difficult.

Imagine how tough it must be to come up with stuff that's stupider than journalists do habitually.

Snark Comment:
Gee, she was quite prolific as a writer of her age - considering that she wrote at least a couple of those books before she was 10.

Serious Comment:
The glitch is persistant - I was able to reproduce it by following the link - and seems to cover more than just the "More About the Author" section - the reviews all seem to rever to a Vanessa Williams CD.

This stuff actually happens sometimes. Google "Jeff Duntemann Baby Farm Animals".
