A shop worker buried in the Haiti quake has been pulled alive from the rubble after 11 days - and told how he survived on beer and cookies.


'No, seriously, I'm alright!' :lol:

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

The Beeb is reporting it was Coca-Cola and snacks.

Still, remarkable and good fortune.

I read the headline, and my first thought that this was someone who has played a game from iD continuously and just had beer to sustain him. :oops:

To avoid future confusion, any headline that could be mis-read in this way (especially on a board populated by computer folk) should probably be re-written. :D

Same here, but I was too embarrassed to admit it :lol:

If anyone still plays, my server is quake.yourwired.net - but PM me first because it's been off line for a while :oops:

Doesn't anyone read the news? To much time spent on here methinks, although not an excuse as I'm sure there was an earthquake thread in here somewhere. :lol:
