I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Why did you just show a picture of a guy singing, dubbed over with singing 'lolololol'?

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Why shouldn't he be talking about prostitutes?  It's what I would want.

Dunno. Those Chileans...

Anyone else think it's a bad idea to give sharp things to people stuck in dark holes for weeks with other people? Especially if only -some- people are getting sharp things? I know I'd be a little worried.

Now that's worse than giving miners prostitutes.

Small update on this.

Though they have been given MP3 players, PSP's etc to pass the time... they have now been told that they cannot use them.

Oh, because you can so give orders to people hundreds of feet below ground that you cannot reach. I hope they play video games untill the second that drill reaches them, just because of how dickish that psychologist is being.

Whoever said that is going to be ignored now and thrown down the hole later.

Who ever said that probably sucks at vidja games. :P

Although, in all seriousness, I believe that's a fairly valid point. A guy who's spending hours trying to get phat lewt in a corner is probably the guy no one trusts.

Is it really that dark down there, according to the picture in that article?  I'd say send them some lights and batteries to run them.

They're getting rescued right now. All over the news here...

Also, apparently they're using some sort of tubes with a capsule inside to get them one by one.
