Flatus Pancakus.
That was Soddom.
Nice 8 min. CGI animation of Pompeii being obliterated by Vesuvius.

Visited Herculaneum a couple weeks ago. It was mid-70's very pleasant for a walking tour.
Supposedly, people in Herculaneum saw the eruption, but many thought they were safe, as the cloud went south, and they were to the west. Later, the winds shifted and Herculaneum was also covered by 60 feet of ash.
What I found remarkable is that coast of the Gulf of Naples was reformed about half a mile, and has remained that was for two thousand years. The city of Ercolano was essentially rebuilt on top of the old port city of Herculaneum.
Of course, throughout Rome, and even under the Vatican, vast parts of the city were filled in (by nature or man) and layers and layers of the city were rebuilt on top of the remains.
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow
of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath
borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how
abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at
it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know
not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your
gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment,
that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one
now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?
In order to know what upcoming programs are going to air on UK TV, I go to:
There was a thread here yesterday of a guy videoing the lava at his house. He is heard saying the neighbors’ car tires were melting but he was going to wait it out to the last second when his house caught fire. Nature warns but some are too stupid to listen.
Apparently the Hawaiian Lava God DID want that telescope built on its mountain after all.
looks like a frame from the Roadrunner cartoons with Wile E. Coyote under the Apex Rock Delivery
I remember that issue, but the one I am thinking of was from the 1960s.
