Mining Pillows

Mine Host.

'Those two alone should ensure I become a wealthy lawyer.'

'C'mon guy. You know I can't serve miners.'

The birth of the data mining industry (circa 1880): 'I ain't sure what it is, Clyde, but there's a vein of it as wide as yer Aunt Tillie!'

'There! another batch of clean coal.'

'There's no need for confusion. Part 935 of Mining Regulation 823, Section 323 in Article L clearly states . . . '

'I think you're following too close!'

Either we're going to be very rich or we're being exposed to so much radiation that we won't last that long.

'We're getting closer - That's a goldfish.'

"No coal here, either - but you never know until you look."

"That was a nice smooth stop. My one concern is that it was right on my truck!"

'Forty years out of touch with civilization, but with this $5000 worth of gold, we'll live like kings for the rest of our lives.'

'This 'Palestine' place you're giving to us - Will we have the mineral rights?'

"My granddaughter wants me to stop blowing the tops off mountains."

"If it's all the same to you chief, I'd like to work from home tomorrow."

'What do you mean, you forgot about the coalmining search?'

"Trevor left the pit ten years ago.. but he likes to keep his hands in."

"...These are chicken nuggets."

Miners

"When you say the meek will inherit the earth, does that include the mineral rights?"

"Al could you unpack these mining issues for us whilst Joel drills down to get some detail on the parcel problem."

"Have you come across any of the rate earths - praseodymium, gadolinium, dysprosum - stuff like that?"

"I asked you to send me over a prospectus!"

"Cobalt? Titanium? What I'm looking for is lithium, columbium and yttrium."

Coal-Fired Pizza

"Of course I hope to find gold. But my real goal is spiritual growth and inner peace."

Strip mine view

"Yes, but the trouble is he always wears that mysterious smile."

How coal creates jobs

"Hei ho, hei ho, to the lithium mine we go..."

The imaginary consequences of Punch's scheme for sending convicts to California.

No! The new mining bill hasn't passed yet!

'I don't understand why that guy is always so happy.'

Ideas that failed: In an attempt to make mining regulation easier to understand, lawyers wrote pop-up manuals.

'Here, we've unearthed a layer of granite, a layer of calcite, and a layer of erudite.'
