Holy shit.
There is a rumor that the miners who died gave their oxygen to the miner who survived because he was younger and had small children.
Snopes hasn't shot it down yet and is saying its possible.
I'm crying at even the thought.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Congratulations to the flea family!
Which reminds me that I really need to finish putting up the pictures from my August jaunt to Boston, because there are a few really lovely pictures of all the fleas.

Congratulations to the fleas! And, while I'm at it, to Cashmere and DH. Second children are wonderful.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
There is a rumor that the miners who died gave their oxygen to the miner who survived because he was younger and had small children.
I first saw that rumor in a statement from... the survivor's father, I think? He said that he had absolutely no evidence, but that he wouldn't be surprised if that had happened. I suspect that's still the case.
