Said that the Secretum "may be" the inspiration for a similar (though not identical) concept in LXG comics. This is just a guess. Unless someone can find a Moore/O'Neill quote that supports the guess, I'll remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thecorinthian85 (talk • contribs) 13:15, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

"The Secretum may be the inspiration for the "secret annexe" of the British Museum, the base of operations for "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" in the eponymous series of comics. Exhibits there include a yahoo skull (from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels and given the scientific name Homo gulliverus) and statues labelled "Cult of Ayesha" (from H. Rider Haggard's She), continuing the high game of literary allusions throughout the series." << removed this bit twl_corinthian (talk) 01:08, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

My call to the Department of Greek & Roman Antiquities a few moments ago informs me that this collection no longer exists and that everything that used to be in it has been dispersed to other departments, so the article is slightly misleading User:Carfax6 - talk 12:30, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I've changed all the tense to past to reflect this. Neddyseagoon - talk 14:34, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
