You're not having a bad day. You didn't fall into a volcano, did you?

Reminds me of the idiot in Yellowstone (?) who stuck her hand in a hot spring and was scalded. I believe the video was posted in JUB.

This would be me. I love volcanoes.

But I would almost certainly be the one to trip on his shoelace and sacrifice myself to the volcano gods.

The Bay of Naples is the caldera of a volcano. Only recently realized that. The Mail prints frightening articles about what will happen when it erupts and the impossibility of evacuating the hundreds of thousands of people who live in the area. I'm a sucker for all of this. I've spent a lot of time at various sites around the bay and the Campi Flegrei. It's one of my favorite places. My partner and I were planning on being in Naples for a few days before Christmas but seeing that our hotel was at the border of the red zone map the Italian government issued after the November (?) earthquakes in Pozzuoli up the bay led me to confine our visit to Rome.

You do realize that the gods are angered when a non-virgin is offered. They spit you back out.

It's a real burn.

I'm always reminded of Mt. Rainier.

The lahar paths take out Tacoma and other cities. It looks so far away, but it isn't as lahars travel.

An eruption would be stunningly catastrophic.

Hence the old adage: see Naples and die.

Seems I remember a common trope from the Alley Oop and B. C. comics of my childhood. They would have a man anger the gods by throwing his mother-in-law into the volcano, and trigger an eruption.

With more than a few sociopaths here who actively enjoy the suffering of others, of course it was.

You bijes laughed at me when I hit the streets in my velcro stilettos. I would survive my stupid volcano selfie

The silver lining is that he or she (there are two articles) was almost certainly killed IMMEDIATELY by slamming into the lava pool, which isn't that much different than hitting concrete, and the deceleration G-forces from that height are in no possible way survivable.

If, on the other hand, it involved sliding down a wall that wasn't exactly vertical...

Thank GOD the guillotine was sharp, eh?
