Now, I'm sure you've found it just as wonderful and exciting and lovely as I have watching the 33 miners being rescued (and if this is news to you, where have you BEEN?! Apart from possibly stuck down a mine....), but has anyone else wondered how the media would describe you in two or three lines for a nice, short and snappy newspiece?
Some of the wonderful answers I've received so far:
"Glenn Selwood, 23, will be the 25th man out of the mine. A law student from Britain, we are still not sure how he got there in the first place."
"Suzannah Hastings, 23, will be the 26th person to be rescued from the mine. Little could be gleaned about her personal life, but she was well known for requesting that both cereal and ice cold milk be sent down the mine. It was only later that she remembered a bowl might have been useful."
"Rachel Frigot, 23, will be the 27th person out of the mine. It is believed that she became convinced that the walls were made of icing."
(And later) "A delay in the rescue effort this evening, as it was discovered that Rachel's tongue has fused to the wall of the cave. Specialised prying tools are being sent into the mine"
"Edward Rustin, 29, is the 28th out of the mine. He asked if he could go back please, as it was nice and peaceful down there and he'd just got to a really good bit on his book."
"Charlie Smith, 24, is 29th man to be rescued from the mine. He became trapped after digging his way to Chile during an over-enthusiastic excavation in his back garden."
"Travis Radicke, 25, was reluctantly the 32nd person out of the mine. He was much dissapointed to learn that he wouldn't get to hold the record for being stuck underground for the longest time. Finding the whole circumstance exciting, he asked to ride the phoenix capsule several more times upon being extracted."
"Vladimir Gostrer, 28, will be the 73rd person to be rescued from the mine. It was not known where all those people came from but apparently Vlad kept running around the collapsed mine and finding more people. His first words on the surface were: "Does anyone have a cup of fresh joe? I got tons of things to do."
I'd love to hear some more! Share them with me - it makes me giggle :)

Lucia Terror, who became violent when asked her age, was the first to be retrieved from the mine after scrambling over the sick and injured when the rescuers appeared. A surprising fact, given the rumours that she caused the mine to collapse while showing off her new surface to air missile launcher.
She was not available for comment.
