Ever wonder what happened to all of those darn Nazis? According to the Hollow Earth Research Society in Ontario, Canada, some of them escaped into the interior of the earth.

I can certainly see why the Indian follows him around.’” Also, is it just me, or does this guy remind you of one of SNL’s Ambiguously Gay Duo?
