I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this story, which has been circulating in the Australian blogosphere, the Mac blogosphere, the political blogosphere, and probably a few other ones as well.
The iPods, programmed with country and western music for one man and hip-hop for the other, were passed to them down a 4in-wide plastic tube poked through a gap in the rock fall.
Too bad they couldn't fit a PSP through there. Anyway, I find it interesting that Country & Western music has an audience so distant as Australia... but then I find I've underestimated that genre every time I hear it, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Nor should I be surprised that the other guy is into hip-hop. When you're stuck in a mine, everybody's worlds collide. And the iPod shall be the Great Cultural Mediator of our time. Be it so!
