Midland Savings Building Implosion Advice Here
In the comments section under this MyWestTexas.com article concerning the implosion of the old Midland Savings Building comes advice from one time Jessica's Well serial commenter "The Eurasian".
If you will be there at implosion, write your name, family name, next of kin, address, family members and phone numbers to call in case you are hit by debris, end up unconscious, dead. Put this information on your pants pocket, on a paper inside your socks. Also carry your picture. And pray for yourself in case you might end up dead.
Good advice? Who knows? But if you do this and the worst happens keep in mind that your estate will owe some compensation to "The Eurasian" for the idea.
Maybe even if the worst doesn't happen.

Just be sure you also tattoo:
"Pat. Appl. For; Nov. 2008; Eurasian; Midland, Texas"
That'll sting a bit, but not nearly as much as having EA follow you around for the remainder of your life, pointing out his probably, possibly, maybe patentable idea on your backside.
That's actually not a bad idea. There is an implosion company called Controlled Demolition Inc. They imploded a building in Bal Harbour, Fl last year and a piece of concrete flew over a thousand feet and hit a woman in the head. Luckily for the company it was the owner's daughter who was hit. I think she ended up with something like 60 stitches in the side of her head. A film crew for National Geographic caught it on tape but the company didn't let them use it because they were afraid OSHA could fine them off of the tape.

I am actually going to be tattooing all of this information inside my butt cheeks, since this will probably be the least exposed area of my body. So, if something does happen, please pass word along to search and rescue...
