To: DieHard the Hunter

Twenty students left in the outback will survive and be inventing tools in a year that the aborigines hadn’t imagined in 10,000 years.

Problem is, of course, that a year is about 362 days more than they will be allowed by the elements and the environment — for they will surely die in the attempt. The Outback isn’t the latest in the “Survivor” series, and you don’t get “voted out.”

The Aborigines would, instead, pick over their bleached bones and discarded i-Pods at their leisure, and make rudimentary-yet-effective tools as they have done for many thousands of years, and subsist in a hostile land that not even US Navy SEALS would like to call home for any length of time.
