Well come on now, would you want to hug a miner who hasn't bathed in 2 months?

TheMercenary 10-13-2010 11:12 PM

Billionaires tend to do that.

OFFS wouldn't you hug them? I would and I don't do Touchy-Feely, The prez hasn't slept in forever and has an unfortunate Deputy Dawg face.

Honestly, when you first heard of a mine collapse in Chile, did you think there was a chance in hell they'd all come out alive... or any come out alive? Incredible luck. Incredible effort.

No chance at all. It's amazing and the fact that they're way ahead of their original timeline is incredible. In spite of my cynicism about Sebastian Pinera, I am very, very glad that all of the miners got out alive.

I heard they made a legal & binding pact when they were still underground, that all revenue from this incident will be shared equally.

Not a chance. Great effort.

One of my favorite websites is Cockeyed.

Rob, the guy who runs that site, made a scale graphic to show just how long the shaft that these miners had to travel through is. It's pretty impressive.

That was a great show. When's the next episode?

Happy Monkey 10-15-2010 12:47 PM

I caught a headline somewhere that there's going to be a mining reality show.

Agreed. Very impressive.
