Let me state for the record, a bunch of poor Chilean miners being trapped underground for 2-4 months while they wait for rescue is not funny.
However,
this MSNBC article about said miners has been absolutely cracking me up this evening. Scroll down to the bottom (you may have to click "show more text" to see the whole article first) and find the section where they display all the miners' photos, including little personal blurbs about each one underneath. I don't know who wrote these things, but some of them are very, very weird:

And, you can filter the list by age range... in case you're only interested in the weird personal details of trapped miners who are 19-29 years old?
