    As I said, for sure we will hear from more cabala. Two more I just saw on the News:


    The good news, when they were found alive, came on the 33th. Week of the Year

    It’s been said the Journalists - reporters on the site were from… 33 Countries.

    In a very hispanic mood, pretty soon we soon make jokes even about tragedy…

    There was this 34th. Miner, they weren’t 33 but 34. But this guy at the moment of the accident -lucky him- he left the site to do what we do in Rest rooms.

    Later on , the rescued ones became like celebrities you know, TV shows, interviews, gifts, visiting the Congress and President, media attention, advertising $$....

    So, a few days later the 34th. Miner comments to his wife “Some of the boys are getting sick, Aren’t you happy we don’t have to deal with that?”… And she says pretty mad…

    “All I know is some of your friends were invited to Larry King, Ophra and so, they are traveling, riding Limos, and they are getting well paid… But you? Oh no! The baby had to take a dump that very very moment!... PLOP!!

    Actually, Irish and Mexican Soldiers fought together like blood bothers in the 1800's Texas War

    Very glad the rescue was successful. Reminds me of the Hudson River Plane Crash rescue, it's always great when everyone comes out of it safe and sound.
