Worst Job Ever - Death Star Laser Tunnel Duty

A recent blog entry over at Tech Republic drew my attention to an old webpage that calculates how much power would be needed for the Death Star (from Star Wars) to actually destroy the planet Alderaan.

While the math and commentary is interesting stuff, I am really blogging on this as an excuse to note that in my humble opinion, the very worst job that I've ever seen is that of what I call "The Laser Tunnel Duty" guys. This math just furthers this belief. See this pic and notice the guys on the left. Unfortunately for the second guy, I don't think that covering your face with your arm is going to help much.
