Remember the miners in Chile that were trapped underground on August 5th? They're still down there. Rescue workers continue to dig toward them while sending essential supplies down a 3.19 inch hole. Newsweek has an infographic illustrating what has been sent down and up this tiny access space. These items include water, an iPod, a tiny projector for entertainment, and blood and urine samples.
The miners have requested cigarettes and alcohol. Their request was denied

There was a story that the miners were sent Sony PSPs to help pass the time.

No cigarettes and alcohol? That's bad. Let em have some fun. Hope they will get those guys really quick out.

Why are they sending the trapped minors urine and blood samples. That seems cruel.

They might as well put a contract for the book and/or movie rights down that hole, too.

I think I'd want a separate hole for the urine samples.
