Yeah! Hoorray for Mexico!
I was just admiring how symmetrical were Ambrose Bierce's and B. Traven's existences: one disappearing without traces, the other appearing suddenly out from nothing... when I read your post about the findings you made, websites where was exposed a theory according to which Bierce and Traven were one and the same! You bet it made a big grin to appear on my face. As Traven died 1969, this hypothesis should include some secret research plant hidden somewhere on the Mexican altiplano, where mad scientists conducted forbidden experiments on rejuvenation... and maybe Pancho Villa's guerillas storming it in the end and setting it in flames, releasing human guinea pigs, clueless about what happened to them, in the middle of unexplored sierras...


Edited for spelling! Caramba!

Gee! I got some good reviews.
You'd notice it: I borrowed entirely from Herodotus this first paragraph of the "marginal annotations" I attributed irreverently to Paracelsus , attempting to give my english translation something of a 16th century flavor... a desperate attempt, I'm afraid!

Excellent idea, by the way, applying a patent for "a squirt of H*r*d* t*s"
(I'm cautious, as I don't want to infringe any copyright: I plan to use your invention for my Easter cards -on which I'll give my friends a traditional Provenal recipe for Easter salad- please wait till Easter to send me the bill)

How's Mexico?
