One of the trapped Chilean miners is dreading his rescue after his wife met his secret mistress at the entrance to the San Jose mine, The Sun reported Thursday.

Yonni Barrios' wife, Marta Salinas, and Barrios' lover, Susana Valenzuela, were both holding vigils for him outside the mine.

Salinas was stunned when she heard Valenzuela shouting his name amid a crowd of miners' loved ones.

Salinas, 56, is said to be "horrified". However, she is determined not to give up her man to her love rival.

Buncha guys; tight quarters; weeks in space; all same thing. NASA has some experts.

Now the Russians always sent up just ONE GUY for these really long time visits. There may be a reason they did that.

One guy has already been forced into proposing marriage

Why? Was someone moving in on his girl?

Must have something to do with NASA’s experience with people confined to small spaces for extended periods of time.....

Like Muslim terrorists living in underground bunkers?

Now I know why Obama wanted NASA to outreach to MUSLIMS.

If you put two or more people in an enclosed area for a long time, they will kill each other.

You both mean Shackleton.

Anyway, it’s a toast that goes back at least as far as the 1800’s. It was in common usage on board Royal Navy ships.

Thanks - I read a book about him just months ago, think I would have remembered his name.

It's easier to send one guy down the memory hole if something goes wrong with the mission.

But they send 5 liters of water a day? Dang, I know it’s hot down there, but the guys with bad prostates probably don’t appreciate it!

[Mark was here]

I wonder what he will get them for Christmas?

Yes you are right, miner brain freeze.

[balch3]

pretty common in Latin cultures. They’ll work something out.

[Hildy]

why should the wife let him go..if he gets out alive, he’ll be a big celebrity and with celebrity comes moolah...besides, if she loves him, she shouldn’t desert him now.

I cannot possibly improve upon that title.

They have been down there 28 days. Laundry and bathing are other issues to deal with. Maybe not 100% needed, but why be any more uncomfortable than you need to be?
