A despairing number of books and eBooks of Sun Tzu's "Art of War" that are based on the Project Gutenberg eText have the last sentence of the translation:
Quote:
|
Spies are a most important element in water, because on them depends an army's ability to move.
|
As in:
"Swim, Mr. Bond, those sharks with frickin' laser-beams attached to their heads are after you!"
Of course, in reality, the correct text is:
Quote:
|
Spies are a most important element in war, because on them depends an army's ability to move.
|
But I guess the world is full of people who think that Sun Tzu was weird and mysterious enough to mandate wet-suits for all spies within the Kingdom of Wu.
