Infamously Michael Rockefeller left his stranded boat in 1961. Never to be seen again. The last photo of him is this with a cannibalistic tribe assumed to have eaten him when he went missing.

This has been the assumption and repeated for 50 years.


But about 9 years after this photo was taken, national geographic was in the area filming the tribe from a distance. And they saw this...

A lone European man rowing the boats along with all of the tribesmen.

Perhaps Michael Rockefeller wasn't eaten, but instead joined the tribe for the rest of his days.

I’ve known this for a minute but both Hillary and Bill Clinton have Grammy’s, and so do the Obama’s. Barrack got 2.

Suck it, Rush.

Weird elitist cultism aside, Oxford is one of my favorite places on Earth.
Was there a a bunch of weirdo elite gangs there? You should've started your own gang and shown those bitch ass preppys what's up. I'd have helped for points on the package.

Damnit this is a missed opportunity. Those motherfuckers there are rich.


On other thoughts I wonder who does actually have the hold on drugs for somewhere like Oxford. I bet if the ever got to the end of the bread trail it would be one powerful ass motherfucker.

You would have to start on lookout and work your way up to the streets.
