: And another thing! Some rumors are just plain stupid. The dumbest plot rumor I've heard so far is that Indy survives to the year 2012 because of the Holy Grail and studies archaeology on Mars.

I hope this one's not my fault. It sounds very much like a joking bit of "What-if" I engaged in when the Fountain of Youth rumor hit around July 1997. Here's the text:

Apparently, there's a new rumor circulating (sent in by Dharmesh) that Indy will seek the fountain of youth in the upcoming movie. I can see it now: An ever vigilant seeker of fact, Indy hastily drinks of the fountain to prove its power. After a blinding flash of arcane magicks, who appears, but Sean Patrick Flannery, setting up the fifth Indy installment set in 2025, Indiana Jones and the Lost Martian Civilization, where "top men" send Indy on a mission to the red planet to uncover ancient Martian technology, which will allow us to escape our own dying planet as they did millions of years ago.

It was clearly joke, but I got enough email after that from people that didn't comprehend what I was saying to worry. The details are slightly different, but the similarities between them is enough to give me a sinking feeling.
