在這個磁州，我只進過礦坑一次，是一位年長的人帶我進去的。他大概是父親的助手或秘書吧。我進去了，其他事情倒記不起了，只對礦夫們挖礦的樣子很有印象。他們不是站著挖，而是躺著挖的。那個情景，叫人覺得很危險，所以記得很清楚。煤這個東西，剛剛挖出來還沒運出礦坑之前，是軟的。我捏過，雖然不是很柔軟，但並不硬。“夕張國際冒險·奇幻電影節”請我去當評委時（一九九六年二月），我去參觀過夕張的煤礦歷史博物館，見到一個抽水用的汲水泵，這東西英文叫“Sludge Pump”。

8. Collider Triggers End-of-World Fears
Did I ever encounter spoiled food, or alarming sell-by dates? No. Other than some slightly leaden pumpkin ravioli from Jack’s gourmet section — it had the sludgy, earwax-like quality of something that had been unfrozen and then frozen again — the only bump on the road was the aroma emanating from the black plastic bags that Jack’s and other 99-cent stores use: they smell alternately like an electrical fire or a fish in transition.
The bad news: the likelihood that travelers will be bumped from an overbooked flight may grow worse this fall when airlines shrink their fleets to cut unprofitable flights and inefficient planes, meaning even fewer empty seats than there are now...
But airlines still overbook, regarding bumping as a necessary part of doing business, especially in the face of record fuel prices. Overbooking, after all, helps ensure flights are as full as possible, a priority for the financially troubled carriers.
