...Trou du Tachou (the Badger's Hole). Hidden away on a Mediterranean hillside covered with olive trees and scrub oak, it was discovered in 1962 by a little girl looking for shiny stones for her collection. What subsequent explorers of the 16-ft. by 16-ft. grotto have found promises to be a great deal more significant: the habitat of the earliest known manlike creatures ever to dwell in Europe...
...Satanist priest, a memmber of the Council of Nine and editor of La Vey's "confidential" newsletter, the Cloven Hoof. He is also the author of a widely used ROTC textbook. Other La Vey Satanists include a Marine Corps N.C.O. from North Carolina and, in New Jersey's Lilith Grotto, a real estate broker and an insurance executive.

...dollar 300-car garage that Incumbent Mayor Justin Lacaze planned to build a stone's throw from the site of Bernadette's vision. If he were removed from office, Lacaze threatened, ecclesiastical authorities might build a parking lot in a meadow on the other side of the grotto, enabling pilgrims to park, pray and go away without even passing through Lourdes (pop. 18,000). But townsfolk failed to fall for that and for the first time in history voted in an anticlerical Radical Socialist Francois Abadie, who opposed building a garage anywhere...
...sculptural Finnegans Wake; some intimation of its scope may be had from one detail that Schwitters called The Cathedral of Erotic Misery. This was a column some twelve feet high and six feet wide, with compartments bearing such names as "The 10% War Invalid," "Ruhr District," "Goethe's Grotto" and "Sex-Murders Cavern." They enshrined, among other relics, a tattered stocking, which Schwitters insisted had belonged to Goethe, and a bottle of yellow fluid on which little flowers were suspended, which he whimsically called "the Master's urine"-meaning...
...year-old, Roger Dean Adams had drunk quite a lot that day-a dozen beers and some wine, his buddies said. After dark, Adams and two companions sneaked into the Portland, Ore., zoo. He lowered himself into the grizzly bear's grotto, but the bear ignored him. He climbed out and tried the pit occupied by two lions, Caesar and Sis. Sis lunged at Adams, catching him by the feet. He died of a punctured jugular vein...
