History

(Challengers of the Unknown I #2) - Peter explored the desert with a guide, and became thirsty as the sun beat down. The guide pointed to the distance and said a watering hole was 100 yards away. When Peter got there he saw a sign saying the water was 100 yards underground.

(Challengers of the Unknown #5) -Peter and his assistant investigated ancient ruins that the locals warned was haunted by a bust of Amorrah, who gave all who passed it the evil eye. Peter was incredulous, but his assistant woke screaming that he couldn't move because the evil eye had got him. Peter told him he couldn't move because he fell asleep with a seventy-five pound back pack still strapped on.

(Challengers of the Unknown I #14) - Puptent and his assistant translated hieroglyphs on a pyramid base, and Puptent was in stitches because they told jokes which were exactly the same as a current TV star comedian.
