I was reading this article today about the various sects of Intelligent Design/Creationism believers and via Pharyngula came across this fantastic opportunity.

Yes, for only $20,000, next summer you can ride a luxurious nuclear icebreaker north to the the gaping hole in the ocean that leads to the Inner Continent.

The itinerary starts out sounding fairly normal at the beginning until Day 9 when you'll start searching " for the North Polar Opening to the Inner Continent." It gets better. "Once found, travel up Hiddekel River to City of Jehu." After that, the real fun begins: "Take a monorail ["the ring came off my pudding can"] trip to City of Eden to visit Palace of the King of the Inner World."

What they don't tell you in the itinerary is even cooler. Apparently, the Lost Tribes of Israel live in the Inner Continent and are ruled by the descendant of King David. If that wasn't enough you can probably visit the Garden of Eden. "The lost Garden of Eden – the home of our first parents, Adam and Eve – was found in Our Hollow Earth in 1830 by Olaf and Jens Jansen, the story of which you can find on my website. My estimate of it's location is 800 miles beneath Independence, Missouri, USA."

I advise the people of Independence to start digging.

It goes without saying that if I win the lottery between now and next summer I'm booking a berth on that ship.

I remember reading about this stuff twenty years ago. Apparently Hitler had a team looking for it back in the day, too. And no, I'm not confusing this with the plot of an Indiana Jones movie, although it would make a good premise for Indy IV...

Distinguishing parody from reality is too dang difficult these days!
