You know it's a slow news day when one of the BBC News Latest Headlines showing up in Firefox is about a diver who might have the bends from surfacing too quickly being taken to the hospital.\

Yes, that's all it is.

Has it really happened?

Have all the problems in the world been solved? Are we living in paradise, where one human's accidental discomfort is still so rare and of such import that it makes the news?

You'd think that alone would have made headlines. 'UTOPIA ACHIEVED. NEW GARDEN OF EDEN GROWING IN SAHARA. "We don't know why we were such idiots for so long" say the leaders of every government, corporation, and armed gaggle on Earth over tea and biscuits.'

'In other news: a stunned world grieves over some diver. Will he be ok? News at 11!'

I mean, seriously. Good times to be livin' in.

And he wasn't even being attacked by giant, man-eating eels at the time?
