Drew sends word of a most unusual club/magazine that seems to specialise in telling tales of wild adventurers seeking ancient civilisations, treasures and tribes. The World Explorers Club, also publishes books on the travels of David Hatcher Childress as he searches for lost cities iof the Andes, Atlantis, druidic relics and other downright Indiana Jones-like capers. I can’t really tell if they’re taking themselves seriously or not – but either way, they seem to be carrying on the Victorian Science-Fiction tradition of exploring the corners of the world almost forgotten, and seeking out the things that mainstream science might scoff at. With tea afterwards, I’d hope.

So, I approve – at least in theory. Reading about adventures is fun (while having them yourself is considered shameless, of course) and they seem to have a jolly outlook on it – with little cartoons like the one above creating chuckles to boot.
