The Yes Men ~ New York Times Special Edition. Kaleidoskop. The most isolated man on the planet. The most isolated man on the planet will spend tonight inside a leafy palm-thatch hut in the Brazilian Amazon. As always, insects will darn the air. Spider monkeys will patrol the treetops. Wild pigs will root in the undergrowth. And the man will remain a quietly anonymous fixture of the landscape, camouflaged to the point of near invisibility. That description relies on a few unknowable assumptions, obviously, but they're relatively safe. He's an Indian, and Brazilian officials have concluded that he's the last survivor of an uncontacted tribe. It's meant to be a safe zone. History offers few examples of people who can rival his solitude in terms of duration and degree. Certainly other last tribesmen and -women have succumbed unobserved throughout history, the world unaware of their passing. Advanced societies invariably have subsumed whatever indigenous populations they've encountered, determining those tribes' fates for them.

And the mine is safe. " Aki Ra is a Cambodian guy who goes out into the jungle and disarms landmines with a pocketknife and a really sharp stick. While I feel relatively confident that I can probably just post that sentence by itself along with a picture of this crazy bastard unscrewing a densely-packed bomb of unexploded TNT with his bare hands and a seemingly-endless supply of raw bravery, over the years you guys have come to expect a minimum word count out of me on these sorts of articles, so perhaps a little further explanation is going to be required.

Back in the dark days of the 1970s, when the hypnotic horrors of disco music held much of the world in its terrible, unbreakable death-grip, the Southeast Asian nation of Cambodia was taken over by a group of soulless assburgers known as the Khmer Rouge.
