163. Empire Mine

The British are so strange, aren't they? But they do make good mining eqipment. But this isn't a story about a British mine, even though a British Empire Mine would be a pretty fun name, 'cause of history. No, this is about an American mine. Is this the worst episode description intro yet?

This is the story of the Empire Mine. Come for the ghosts, stay for eco-friendly to a point, (I'm a manager), the Platonic form of gold mine, it's not a fun nursery rhyme, some early Mario Bros. sh*t, and the inflation calculation of water.
