>This bit always confused me; what does "into the jungle" mean?

"Around the bend", "lost your marbles", "off the deep end", etc... Who would
want to go "into the jungle" with all dzur, dragons, and what-not when he
could be safe and sound in the cities? Only a crazy person. 

I'd guess that "into the jungle" refers to someone who goes into the heart
of the uncharted jungle, with the intention of either staying there
permanently or looking for a mythical treasure that'll more likely wind up
with you never coming out again. 

Maybe it's one of those "easter egg" references that's just so obscure that
nobody has ever gotten it. *heh* I know I never would have caught the
Shakespeare one that someone posted on the list about a while back. I've
pretty much just caught the obvious ones: The Zork references in Taltos and
the Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference in Yendi. I suspect there are
many others.
