Nope never heard of it, went with the same wrong answer as Cheddah. Wonder if Bobby P and the School of Mines crew would know this?

Well the Kentucky mining contingent didn’t know it. But by all means let’s ask fucking Bobby five sides who has like eight posts since 2010. I hope you all die of solar poisoning.

Or you know what maybe wind poisoning. I hope you all have chapped faces that get so bad you bleed out.

Well, they went to mining school, and I don't think any coal is mined at 10,000 feet, so I was assuming it was something in the Rockies. Sorry I didn't think to ask the coal guru... If we were talking about wildcatting for oil, I would go to my guy in Kentucky first.
