Get the data miner mug.Tongue-in-cheek reference to Texaco's seemingly-insignificant error of drilling a 14"-diameter bore-hole into da roof of da Diamond Crystal Salt Company's hacked-out chasm underneath Lake Pigneur; as we all know, though, said comparatively-tiny geological puncture was ANYTHING BUT "miner" --- I mean, minor!
Poking a merely-foot-two-inch-diameter hole into da roof of a hollowed-out salt-cavern may indeed not sound very serious or dangerous, but when you consider dat (1) there was an entire lake on top of said fissure, and (2) da material surrounding said unintended vent was largely composed of readily-dissolvable salt --- which of course would just erode away and thus rapidly make said erroneous orifice progressively bigger --- said "miner mistake" was hardly "small potatoes", after all!!

A video game that was popularly played on Xbox 360, the game was featured in the Indie game section of Xbox 360, meaning it only costed a few dollars, the game may have been slightly scuffed, but the challenge along with playing alongside friends made the game surprisingly fun, the game looks like any other Minecraft rip off, but the goal is to walk as far out into the world as possible while aliens, zombies, dragons, and many other "mobs" try to stop you, as you go out further the game will become much harder but at the same time will reward better loot, such as laser items, and bloodstone, which are the most valuable items in the game. As of now the game is still on playable through Steam, but is no longer on consoles.
