We'd better step on it and pick up the pace a bit...there's a tornado just ahead over the next hill, and an earthquake happening just around the corner from that, and I want to check out both of them before it starts to get dark.

Seriously when you said hold my beer and watch what happens when I toss this bucket of chemicals in this volcano I really honestly did not expect that to happen.

So does the military know about your secret formula?

The local judge didn't buy it when they said...

"We didn't start the fire. It was always burning, since the world's been turning,

We didn't start the fire. No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it."

...but Billy Joel's manager did.

Reminds me of the old joke my father-in-law told -

Two old ladies taking their daily walk past a glue factory where they were turning horses into glue and burning the hides....

One turns to the other "Do you smell hair burning?"

"Yeah, do you think we're walking TOO fast??

During the excavation, plaster was used to fill in the voids in the ash layers that once held human bodies. This allowed one to see the exact style of pants the person was in when they died. One determined to be an Engineer in khakis and the other a slack jawed mercenary in cargos.
