3,000 Workers Trapped in S. Africa Mine
About 3,000 miners were trapped underground Wednesday when a water pipe burst and probably caused a shaft to collapse in a South African gold mine, officials said.

And the US goes into a panic attack when 4 people get trapped. Where are the people crying for regulations for big mining in South Africa? Why don’t we hear about this outrage on the news?
From Digg.com:
By now everyone has read the story “Man Beats ***** to Death Because He Thought it was a Vampire” The guy who killed the ***** and said the bird was a vampire had been diagnosed a schizophrenic several months earlier. He was treated at South Beach Psychiatric Center last fall but has since gone off his medication.
My Comments:
This is a post I did. A man beat a peacock to death and then later went to his parents house. What he went over there for is not stated. We do know that this guy picked up a shovel someplace and was threaten at least his parents with it. Later he left and then jumped into a lake or some other body of water.
At first I cracked a joke about him and his shirt because the original article only mentioned that was acting crazy and was arrest with some marijuana. Then I found out later that this guy was off his medication and was self-medicating.
So I want to say that I’m sorry that this guy has this medical condition. But, the hospital he was at determined that he was sane enough to take care of himself. He also had a support system with his parents. He choose to stop taking his medication. Though schizophrenia may make you want to do crazy things your are still in some control of your facilities.
This guy may might deserve all the jeering he’s getting on Digg, he was in large part at fault for what he did.
What happened to ErvinKosch.info?
If you’ve come to ervinkosch.info recently you were greeted with a series of ads instead of the regular website. What happened was that the domain was registered through RegisterFly (see other posts.) Registerfly a few weeks ago became a shell. In other words you log in and do anything that was automated but there wasn’t anyone living there.
During that time the domain expired because RegisterFly would accept my renewal. Fortunately this week GoDaddy took control of the network. Now we have life again.
So get ready for a BUNCH of new posts soon.
So ErvinKosch.info is back to life.
