England came in second at both Poles
Now wants to return stolen North Pole! |
|
"...an urban legend that Peary missed the Pole by
30-60 miles...what really happened was an aging
Scottish writer made up a theory so his polar camping trip would make him a
hero in the UK...he now sells paintings
of himself 'discovering the North Pole' for $15,000...
even though his
theory has been proven false..." |

Those Wacky Brits!
Queen Elizabeth, who knighted the little Scotsman Pole
thief, now hopes to end years of international scorn with the planned return
of Peary's Pole.
Commencing in
March, 2005 her chap named Tom Avery will haul
the North Pole back by dog team to the USA on an authentic Peary
style wood sledge.
Barclays Capital will
finance the North Pole recovery from Scotland and shipping
back to the USA. Jolly good show! Hail
Britannia!
God save the Queen! |

Scotsman Wally Herbert stole the North Pole with
Noose of Laurels
(1988),
and assistance from the naive folks at the National Geographic Society.
They didn't know he was a friend of the colossal fraud Frederick Cook's
daughter! (Birds of a feather...) How did he do it? As the first
person permitted to examine Peary's diary he simply lied about what it
contained. Until we
web published the entire diary he actually fooled
millions of people! Clever chaps those Scots! |

Misery, like history, Royally repeats itself.
First the British hated South Pole discoverer Amundsen because he made it
look too easy. Amundsen "cheated" by using dogs instead of men to pull his
sledges. When Scott's starving, man-hauling team finally reached the Pole
and found Amundsen's tent (he had been and gone) they claim it broke "their
hearts". Thus demoralized they all died. Later on, Britain took to hating
Peary as this was all his fault. Peary inspired Amundsen on how to be
successful on a polar expedition; whilst Scott rejected Peary's use of dogs
as demeaning to "man's best friend." Instead he employed his men as the
dogs. Peary was further blamed because he did not let Scott beat him to the
North Pole (???), and also because Peary's American expedition did not include
the captain of Peary's ship;
British subject Robert Bartlett. As ridiculous as all of this sounds, I
have been assured by several people it is factual. |
