This is going to be one adventure to watch!

Costner has been a big investor in oil spill technologies and this coming week his devices will be deployed throughout the Gulf to see if they work and can clean up 2 million barrels of oily water a day.

What's another surprise in this story is about other actors whose inventions did wonders. I didn't know Hedy Lamarr actually invented a jamming device used against the Nazi communications systems during WWII. That's gotta rate!

Pretty good Greg. Not many people know that. She was a great actress, one of the most beautiful and desirable women in the world, and Hedy Lamarr was also an inventor. If she were around today she'd probably figure out a way to stop the oil spill.
