[PSUBS-MAILIST] Thai cave kids

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Sean,
good joke! Someone explained to me that in South America they are 
applauded for their on field dramatic performance. A bit like big time wrestling.
I thought it was funny that they roll 10 times when they aren't touched but a World 
cup goalkeeper was jumped on by 10 of his team mates after a penalty shoot
out & had no ill effects.
I hear the rescue has now started, so they will be diving them out.
