NOW WE KNOW
and I’m still ploughing through Fawcett’s book (‘Exploration Fawcett’) and still as fascinated as the first time I ever read it. Conclusions—
(a) human life is often very cheap
(b) and of no value, and
(c) anyone will do anything to anyone
and with ref to ref (c): are some people serious or very tongue-in-cheek? I mean, who (other than in Fawcett’s book) ever heard of a dog with a double-barrelled nose?
So being a modern I asked the one guy in the universe who knows everything (no, not that One … I mean the one you can actually engage with, ol’ Mr Google).
Google giggled, made me dwell a brief pause, passed wind then spat out a sizeable selection; so here’s just one for you—
—and if you don’t believe it, you’re welcome to do your own homework. (Go on, off you go; shoo~!)
Or if you’re still here, this one below I just didn’t follow no further cos’ I have more interesting things to do (tracking down some of the myths perpetuated by one Percy Harrison Fawcett).
But this wee beast is kind of cute—
—regardless of whether he exists outside of Photoshop or not. I hope he’s real, I’d like to own one; sometimes I’d take him for a walk in the rush hour and watch all the disbelievers driving up trees …
AND NOW
I have to fit in more of Fawcett; I’ve found his bird that softens stone with chemicals but not yet the references I remember to cold-lights in forgotten cities.
Don’t wait up …
