Miners have much much more fun than you think |

 Apa yang anda bayangkan saat mendengar "pekerja tambang"? Hmmm.... Kotor, brewok, belepotan lumpur, kasar, dan kesepian? Anda tidak salah. Sebagian pekerja tambang memang bekerja dengan lumpur. Mereka juga kebanyakan berotot karena pekerjaan menuntut untuk menggunakan kekuatan fisik. Banyak yang kerja keras tak kenal waktu hingga lupa bercukur. Tapi tidak semua pekerja tambang seperti itu. Walau penampilan mereka kasar, hati mereka kebanyakan lembut (halakh...!)
Mereka bekerja jauh di tengah hutan atau di tengah laut, jauh dari keramaian, dan untuk mengusir kesepian, mereka melakukan banyak hal yang mungkin tidak pernah anda pikirkan. Di sini anda bisa lihat bahwa kehidupan pekerja tambang tidaklah seperti yang anda duga. Sungguh berwarna-warni dan banyak petualangan. Kalau anda jadi pekerja tambang, inilah situs untuk anda. Manfaatkan sebaik-baiknya untuk berkomunikasi dengan sesama pekerja tambang. Jangan ragu mengirim puisi, foto/gambar, atau apa saja agar teman2 sesama penambang bisa ikut menikmati. Ingin pindah kerja? Atau tambang tempat anda bekerja sudah mau tutup? Silakan lihat2 di bagian MAILING LIST. 5400+ members can't be wrong! Siapa tahu ada lowongan yg cocok dan lebih menantang (duitnya!). Now sit back, relax, and enjoy your visit to nuriman.net.

In a South American mining district Mrs. Brown presented her husband with a 12 pound baby boy. Mr. Brown was so delighted that he went to the News office and told that he had found a 12 pound nugget of gold as good as any to be found in South America. The paper, naturally, sent a reporter to get particulars. This is what happened:
Reporter--Does Mr. Brown live here?
Mrs.Brown-- he does.
Reporter--Is he in?
Mrs.Brown--No he isn't.
Reporter--I understand he found a nugget of gold weighing 12 pounds.
Mrs.Brown--(Seeing the joke) Yes.
Reporter--Can you show me the exact location where it was found?
Mrs.Brown--I'm afraid Mr. Brown would object as it is private.
Reporter--Is the hole far from here?
Mrs.Brown--No, it is quite handy.
Reporter--Has Mr. Brown been working the claim long?
Mrs.Brown--Almost ten months.
Reporter--Was Mr. Brown the first to work it?
Mrs.Brown--He thought he was.
Reporter--Was the work difficult?
Mrs.Brown--It was at first but easier after the shaft opened.
Reporter--Is the water plentiful?
Mrs.Brown--Yes, sufficient to carry on the work.
Reporter--Has he gotten to the bottom yet?
Mrs.Brown--No, but quite near it.
Reporter--Do you think there are any more nuggets?
Mrs.Brown--Yes, if the claim is properly worked.
Reporter--Has he worked it since he found the nugget?
Mrs.Brown--No, but I told him it was time to start.
Reporter--Do you help him?
Mrs.Brown--I do my level best.
Reporter--do you think he will sell the claim?
Mrs.Brown--No, he finds too much pleasure in working it himself.
Reporter--Can I see the nugget?
Mrs.Brown--Certainly.
She brought the baby in for inspection. The embarrassed reporter departed very fast. |

Sergei Yevshin, a coal miner on strike in the Ukraine was quoted in this weekend's The European [newspaper] as saying: "We watched with envy on television as American soldiers gave out packets of Marlboro cigarettes to Iraqi prisoners of war. Many of us have to work an entire shift underground to afford one packet of Marlboro. I want to surrender to the Americans." |

Emas hampir tidak bisa rusak. Hanya bbrp bahan kimia yang bisa menyerang emas. Dengan demikian, emas akan tahan hingga berabad-abad. Tidak heran kalau pesawat ruang angkasa Voyager yang diluncurkan tahun 1977 dan dikirim untuk menjelajahi Saturnus sebelum mengadakan perjalanan ruang angkasa selama ribuan tahun, membawa sebuah piringan emas murni yang diberi ukiran kata2 dan gambar tentang planet bumi kita, siapa tahu ditemukan oleh peradaban lain di planet lain nun jauh di sana. NASA ingin memakai logam yang paling kuat dan tahan lama. Karena sifatnya yang permanen, hampir semua emas yang telah ditambang masih tetap ada di bumi ini dalam berbagai bentuknya (tidak termasuk yang dibawa ke luar angkasa) |
