amen. i agree. My roommate for three years in college (I lived off-campus) was a Lobsterfisherman. He'd go out all year long, no matter what the weather. And I mean no matter what. He has pictures of the boat in ice storms, etc that were just crazy working conditions. He told me that he'd never do the Alaska thing, it was too dangerous. So, at that point, I knew that it was a tough job. This guy was a tough bastard, and he wasn't gonna have any part of it.
Watching that show just confirmed what you said - I am glad that my computer can't kill me (at least directly) in my job. Any time that death is a job hazard, you can count me out.
