wow

just seen this on bbc news, a tribe that have had no outside contact EVER has just been discovered in the jungles of brazil (near the border with peru)
i find it really interesting that apparently theres about 100 (dunno how they know how many if they havent had contact??) tribes still, that have had no contact with the outside world at all

    What's the world coming to, soon there will be no lost tribes left.
    I stole it off a space ship.

    Maybe some extraterrestrials will find a "lost tribe" on a little blue planet near Sun.

    You'd think that by now the whole world had been explored. It's weird how people have had no contact with the outside world. Just think - no tv, no mobiles and even worse - no spectrums!
    We could track them down and show them some spectrums and convert them to the joys of Manic Miner!
    The trouble with tribbles is.......

    At the rate society is degenerating, we'll be going back to tribes pretty soon...I'm all for it.


    They say it's a small world, but I wouldn't like to paint it.
    I stole it off a space ship.

    I take it you've all seen the photo. It's really creepy because you can't quite make them out. The scariest thing is the female painted totally black. She looks demonic. But yeah, we can't do a Crocodile Dundee and force them out to live in the city. Save the hippies!

    The black one is a boss for 1st level to eliminate, similar like in Renegade.

    Apparently some of these "undisturbed" tribes have come into contact with the outside world, as per the Associated Press.

    I wonder if those Sentinelese people mentioned toward the end are the inspiration for The Sentinel ;-)

    I thought it was a superb idea to buzz them with a helicopter.
