In the sea of stones...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Wow. 8)

Check out Pliny's description (letter LXV) of the Vesuvius eruption that destroyed Pompeii (or rather Robert Harris' re-telling in the novel Pompeii) for a more extreme example.

Meh. to tell you the truth, don't bother with Pliny, just go for the Robert Harris version. He's fleshed it out a lot more than I remembered.
