Don't worry, next time I'll try to make it even more absurd! :-)

Still (according to Wikipedia), Manchuria "was known for its shamanism, 
opium and tigers. The Manchu imperial symbol was a tiger with a ball of 
opium in its mouth. Manchu Emperors were, first and foremost, accomplished 
shamans."
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchuria

But see also:
        http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Manchu

So, a proposed connection between Manchu and the VMs has plenty of 
little-known history to link in to (even if the writing style, pictures, 
and visual composition don't seem to match).

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
