It\u2019s been a good long while since I commented on headlines, but today\u2019s news is pretty noteworthy.\u00a0 Thirty-three sons of the Earth, called home in the bosom of the planet, are being born again \u2013 damn near literally \u2013 through what can only be described as the world\u2019s longest birth canal.\u00a0 \u00a0Over the course of 21 days, your body will acclimate to nearly anything.\u00a0 In three times that time, you\u2019re not just acclimating to new conditions, you\u2019ve moved in.\u00a0 This is your home now, and the place you used to hail from becomes a distant memory.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today, these thirty-three men are being reborn into the light of San Jose, Chile, through a canal 22 inches across and half a mile long.\u00a0 They will remember this second birthday every bit as well as they remember their first ones \u2013 probably a lot better, come to think of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So to all the miners and all their friends and families, waiting as anxiously as expectant parents ever have:\u00a0 Happy Birthday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
