And even when you sit down, looking at a landscape painted totally in white gives you an awful headache. <br /><br />And that's before the earthquakes. And the volcano cone, even as we speak, rising up anew in the caldera... <br /><br />The last eruption set off a massive tsunami that was allegedly the undoing of the Minoans on Crete. <br /><br />I'd go back though.. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-80782976429707928692012-09-25T04:20:54.917-07:002012-09-25T04:20:54.917-07:00It would have to be a Hippo, wouldn't it?

France's attitude to the death penalty was altered forever by the last public guillotining - it was a complete botch, and the victim struggled so much that two of the assistants lost most of their fingers on one hand.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-23121166728823844752012-09-25T02:06:18.009-07:002012-09-25T02:06:18.009-07:00Glad someone else has vivid dreams.
