    Could you imagine such hell?!

    http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/china-miner-found-alive-after-17-years-underground/
    Ürümqui| A group of coal miners from the western province of Xinjiang, had an unbelievable surprise when the gallery they were excavating opened up on a section of an old mine, that was abandoned 17 years ago after an earthquake that caused some large sections of the tunnels to collapse. While they were exploring the galleries, they stumbled upon Cheung Wai, a 59-year old survivor from the 1997 accident, obviously in a rather bad shape. He was immediately taken to the hospital where a complete evaluation of his physical and mental states will be done over the next weeks.

    The poor man had remained trapped underground with the bodies of 78 of his dead coworkers, after an earthquake of a magnitude of 7,8 hit the region and caused the wooden support structure of the mine to crumble and collapse. Somehow lucky in his misfortune, Mr. Cheung was saved by the fact that some ventilation duct still connected his underground prison to the surface, allowing him access to air that was sufficiently pure to keep him alive.

    17 years and only air to keep him alive?

    Surrounded by 78 bodies of his coworkers?

    There's something missing from this...

    Obviously a break down in communications when his foreman told him he was in charge of Supplies.

    Mr Cheung Wai stated that even though he was significantly miffed by the alien abduction, the situation was made palpable by the gentle anal probing by the head alien overlord himself.

    Aw, well that's nice...... I suppose.....




    ...and more believeable than the original story.

    You know what I mean TheZohan. Please try and be serious for once while this heartrending story gets the once-over. If it wasn't for fellows like him, they'd still be burning turf around Ardee and Lyreacrompane. YeeeeeHaaaaw!

    Image never having seen a single episode of The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire, or the even the scene where Erika Eleniak emerges topless from the cake in Under Siege.

    That guy would have a great few weeks viewing ahead of him.
