Rabies is the least of their worries...

I'm wondering if the cave is due for another "roof-fall"? The last one (according to Richard Preston's website) was in August 1982.

The scream eminating from the cave when the lads find out they've been had is sure to register at least 4.19 on the Richter scale.

Sheer genius, yet again... bow_down

I just hope zombie lads don't emerge from the cave releasing a mutated plague upon the world Wink

hmm, how angry can two bat colonies get when a lad screams in anger during their beauty sleep?

I feel a bit unconfortable reading all this. Great work taking them for a ride. You guys are real artists.But have you tought just for a second that they might really get infected by Ebola or become carrerer ? Not that I care about them.I have been reading what they do to people and what they drive them into(suicide; bankruptcy...).Scammer should rot in hell(If they're lucky enough for that) but...

What if they infect innocent people on there way back?

Guess that's something to think about... Confused

Long, expensive journeys. Ebola virus. Rabid bats. Rock chewing salt addicted elephants. Internet cafe fees. High elevation. Long approach trails. Jungles. Roof cave in's. Crevasses full of dead animals. Pitch blackness. Guano. Poachers. Large cats?
Am I seeing a bestseller here, and an Academy Award movie in the making? Or what?

I'm fairly sure that the Ebola virus has no carrier stage.

That's a possibility. The Ebola virus is spread through blood and bodily secretions (and things that have been contaminated with that).

Hi Centaure.
I like that avatar- Bill was a hoot.
The chances of YW's lads getting Ebola and passing it on to innocents are nil.

Thank for reassuring me everybody.Specialy to you TSnerd for making me at ease on that topic. I don't have a lot of medical knowledge but to have you telling me this is reassurring.

...But then again I wont be asking any of you for medical diploma Laughing

^^Glad to be of help Laughing

Conversely, what if a metorite struck a power cable just as you were typing your response, which caused your computer to explode, which caused the alarm in your house to go off? Then, the combination of the faulty wiring in your house, the alarm and the surge caused by the blown fuse made the power in your entire grid to fail. The Powers That Be (The PTB) see that on their monitors and link that to an intelligence report about nuclear material coming across the border (it was really a kid's timex glow-in-the-dark watch, but they had the sensors set too sensitive) and decide that a nuclear attack has been launched.
Subsequently M.A.D. ensues and kills everyone on most continents but where the lad lives.
This lad, who never got Ebola, returns home and is killed by a falling brick caused by a irradiated bird which died and fell from the sky and reached terminal velocity and struck the loose brick.
How's that for a 'what if'?

i'm speechless Shocked

...And I will follow this Great Safari with much interest !!!! Razz

Do you think the entrance of the cave was blocked off by the government? I can just picture this fool: Indiana Jones hat on his head, entering the forbidden cave with nothing but a torch and an internet cafe card.

Dupes.... That cave is guarded by the Park/Refuge Police... Probably by the Military.... These BOZOS also have to cross the Border to get in from the UGANDA side of the mountain... These boys are in for some serious crap. When I climbed a 5000ft mountain in Alaska it took almost 7hrs and it was an EASY climb up fairly even and BARREN terrain... They'll be in a Jungle climbing a VERY steep Volcano fighting insects, Leopards, Elephants, Mosquitos, and all the nastiest bugs the CDC has in stock...

I'll be surprised if they walk out of there.... if they get out at all..

BTW... if JoJo, YW and Big Worm kill off their lads on a safari... do they get a LAD HEAD for their Sigs? is there a contingency for this???

^^^^ Actually, the cave is on the East side of the volcano, in Kenya. It took quite a while to find this out. While there are a number of rangers that patrol the park, as far as we know, they do not stand guard in front of the cave entrance. Make no mistake though, if they are caught up there without the proper permits and guide, they will find themselves in a bit of trouble with the authorities.

my bad... but tell them the entrance is on the UGANDAN side.... Maybe Idi Amin will rise and get em.... lol!!!!

Been to Africa for a plains game hunt about 15 yrs ago.

THOSE PRESERVE RANGERS WILL KILL YOU FIRST.. then verify your I.D.

Maybe we can give the boys little headstones to commemorate this super-safari... LOL

It is now 7am in Kenya but 11pm where I am. I have to get some sleep now. I told Bruce that I had to go to the dig site and that I would not be back until about 3pm Kenya time. Hopefully by then, we will have an update.

Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 12:29 pm

It is now nearly 3:30pm Sunday afternoon in Kenya and we still have not heard from the lads since they were in Nairobi. Evil or Very Mad

Your guess is as good as ours.

Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 12:43 pm

It's Sunday - they're at church of course praying for a 100% risky free outcome (+ the internet cafes are closed?).

checked that out... I'm assuming that the cave is located on that rather large mountain to the northeast? If so, then that is quite the little trip. Plus trying to evade rangers and other authorities... not to mention trying to evade ebola... one word sums it up for the guys behind this little trip.

wow...

Heres a picture of the cave..... How do I post it in the body of the article here as an image and not a link?

^^ Put [*img] plaatje [*/img] tags around the link... (without the * ofcourse)

Looks like a nice cave... i hope they can find a map around there, or they're losing it soon enough. This probably isnt in the middle of a public park Twisted Evil
