lederhosenWorld first: Che Guevara T-shirt helps achieve something useful!
All facetiousness aside, that is splendid news, and all the more nifty for the way in which it was achieved. It's been a long time since I saw somebody looking as happy as Betancourt does in today's photos.
Meanwhile, got invited to join a D&D game here and ended up running it because the original DM needs to study. Tonight the PCs got hired to guard a shipment of six valuable creatures, and told to stay away from them. One of them got curious, lifted up the blanket to reveal six large wicker baskets, and held his glowing magical sword close to one of the openings to see what the creature was... why, yes, it was a rust monster! It was a fun session, even if the PCs lost more in equipment than they were going to be paid for guard duty...

'Over here', though, I think he's mostly a convenient symbol for rebellion, a more political version of listening to Marilyn Manson to annoy your parents. If he hadn't existed, or hadn't had the advantage of a good photographer, somebody else would've been picked to fill the gap.
