From: open mike there was recently a photo circulating on the internet of a training maneuver of a naval squad where a diver was suspended from a helicopter by a ladder, and a shark was leapoing out of the water attempting to take a bite out of him or devour him. this photo ws going around a few years ago as it turns out it was a hoax..two pix cut and pasted...one of copter training and another of a shark in south africa. http://www.sfbayadventures.com/helicopter_sharks.html |

From: heric That's a good list but I still think my least preferred job would be guano harvesting in Peru. 1.5 tons per day for fifty cents. Damned workers kept leaping off the cliffs to their deaths when they didn't feel like working. |

From: open mike there was a film http://www.koyaanisqatsi.org/ or POWAQQATSI that had incredibgle footage of tin miners in bolivia crawling up and down a pit mine with bags of ore on their heads. as i recall they were literally stepping on each other to get out. http://www.koyaanisqatsi.org/films/powaqqatsi.php there is a trilogy of films by Godfrey Reggio with little if any dialogue, and striking images with surreal musical sound track by Philip Glass. |
