2 factoids.

1) There's this 4th/5th c. (probably) book attributed to Palladius called "de gentibus Indiae et bragmanibus" (='about the peoples of India and the brahmins').

2) Once paroled, thrill-killer Nathan Loeb worked at a religious hospital in Puerto Rico and spent much of the rest of his life there, eventually dying there and donating his body to the University of Puerto Rico for study.

It seems like he ended up in Castañer, truly a remote corner of the island up in the mountains between Lares and Adjuntas, the same place where one of Puerto Rico's most legendary criminals and famous escapee was also caught, after a dozen years in the run, in 1995: Toño Bicicleta. --Luis
