In other news, in Straylia we have to vote for a new Prime Minister in the next day or two. Another one. I for one am sick of electing Prime Ministers, and I think this country has got jolly well enough of them as it is. |
Didnt you just get a new lady PM?
|
Exactly.

So these miners in Chile right, I heard that they wont be able to rescue them for at least a couple of months. That's fucking nuts that is.
I don't care if they have food, water, magazines or ipods down there; you would go nuts and kill yourself after that long underground. Are they in the dark? Those poor bastards. Funny how every mining accident in China ends with nobody ever surviving and getting trapped, yeah, what a coincidence. |
Yeah that Chilean mining story is quite intriguing.
I think they managed to get electricity from a vehicle engine (which sounds a bit dangerous, what with the exhaust fumes and all, but they probably know what they're doing) so apparently they have at least limited access to light. I think this will be a very good chance to study human behaviour under extreme circumstances. Will they start chewing on each other? Will they hallucinate? Will they all turn gay? To be continued. |
I once got locked in a change room for a good ten minutes, and I was clawing at the walls I tell you what. A friend locked me in there, and when I got out I chased him with the intent to kill him.
The human mind changes under pressure. Often for worse. It will be interesting to see how these Chilean miners react to the situation that they are faced with. The news tells me that nobody wants to break it to them that they may be trapped down there for a little while. So they're just dancing around the issue with standard South American government aplomb |
Mexicans are a resilient species of bugs.

We had a couple of loons stuck down a mine for about a month. It was hell boring to watch from the top, poor suckers. When one of them requested an Ipod with Foo fighters, good old Dav Grohl then named a song after them........
|
So they've got to wait 4 months for a rescue? Pardon the indiscretion, but where will they put all their "shit"? :x
|
I think they have plenty of tunnel space to shit in, but only one habitable room.
Apparently a couple of them have already gone depressed. Doesn't bode well. Would be really scary if this developed into some sort of lord of the flies scenario, where they'd all start killing each other while the rest of world could only watch, but not really intervene. |
Man, though, after 4 months that room will be mighty fragrant.

I think if nothing interesting happens in a couple of days, they should start spiking their food with hallucinogens.
And then instead of food they'll just send down lots of knives. PS Sure you can call me blastin children if that may tickle your fancy |
:lol
In all seriousness, I'd be very surprised if they all made it out alive :( |
They should use that ship from the Core and send Hillary Swank down into the mine with them.

I know this is a serious topic, but still ... :lol

Hurricane Earl is expected to start impacting the east coast tonight (9/2/10) hitting North Carolina, then Virginia. Long Island, New York possibly by tomorrow (9/3/10). Earl was just categorized as a category 5 which is going to cause some major damage. Maybe as bad as hurricane Isabel. Gaston is only listed as a tropical depression now but its going to clean up anything Earl missed. |
And I remain unaffected. :)

As a tax-paying Oklahoma, I have to ask myself, "How does this affect me?"
