Oh, and I'll bet they didn't have an adequate number of parking places and restrooms for handicapped rescue workers.

18. The human transport cage was not tested to meet government rated crash tests. It also violated safety standards: it did not have seatbelts or airbags, and when turned sideways was excessively prone to rollover.

Did they have enough minorities working on the rescue crews? Transgendered, handicapped,Non- Caucasian...if not, they be in big trouble ;-)

When you find out the answer to that one, please let me know. I can think of absolutely no reason except the stupidity of PC.

19. Federal regulations require that anyone under ground for more than 24 hours is presumed legally dead regardless of their actual condition. As such, the rescue workers were guilty of violating grave robbing laws.
I know. A bit morbid but it's late.

Re: Braille on ATMs
It gets even more idiotic.
Even if a blind person were to walk up to the machine to use it, they would still have no way of accessing the information on the screen....

Of course the blind person could always ask someone to help them "read" the screen..................Oh' but that would be stupid. They would not need the Braille.
Like I said in the previous post, it must be for their seeing eye dog in the passenger seat !!!

"19. Federal regulations require that anyone under ground for more than 24 hours is presumed legally dead regardless of their actual condition." Does that mean that anybody who lives in a tree for more than a week can be officially declared a bird?
To: JZoback

The best part is what the miners REALLY asked for as soon as communications were established...... food, dip and a case of BUDWEISER!

Maybe the braille reads, "Go away, you silly blind person".

What about the endangered Abandoned Mine Lesser Blindfish?
