Overheard at the site of the Chilean miner rescue: "Oh crap, I forgot my wedding ring down there..."

After watching the Chilean miners bringing up rocks and other such terrestrial memorabilia from their deep dark home of 69 days, one would hope that they remembered to bring up some of their more important belongings as well...

It's not like they can just pop back down there if they forget something: "Um sorry Mr Foreman, could I quickly hop back in the capsule and have another go? That was one fun ride man...!"

So - to the trapped miners, if you are by some impossible chance catching up on my blog while you wait to be rescued (it's not like you have anything else important to do :) - remember to take all your stuff up with you! :)
