The Internet. It saves lives.

I’m from the internet and I’m here to help.

Watch the sunset, save a life.

A woman admiring the sunset on a tourist webcam in northern Germany spotted a man who was lost on the frozen North Sea and probably saved his life by alerting authorities, police said Wednesday.

The man had climbed over pack ice off the coast to photograph a sunset near the town of St. Peter-Ording, then became disoriented on the ice, Husum police spokeswoman Kristin Stielow said.

Unable to locate the beach, the man began using his camera to flash for help. That got the attention of a woman hundreds of miles (kilometers) away in southern Germany who was watching the sunset over the sea on her computer.

So to all the blog widows out there, sit tight. This is very important work.

    I’m of two minds on this one. It’s nice that this fool was saved. On the other hand there’s now a real chance he’ll pass the stupid gene on to another generation where real damage might be done. Ma Nature should have been left alone to dip the moron out of the gene pool.
