I'll have to look at it again when I'm not stoned."Boiling Pit" ......... Nice accompanying sound.
Whenever I eat Mexican food I get a lot of gas buildup. At that point the volcanic lightning comes out of my pants, and you don't want to be in the same room as me.
It's both beautiful and terrifying. I would never want to live close to a volcano.
There are volcanoes in some surprising locations.
Such as under Jackson, Mississippi.

Are there any close to the New Madrid Fault?
I live in Missouri and if that were to go off, it is said that it could destroy a lot of the state.
You mean other than the Crater of Diamonds in Arkansas?
I guess? I've never heard of that one.

<p>The only place in the world where the public can search for real diamonds in their original volcanic source, Crater of Diamonds is a one-of-a-kind experience that brings people from all over the world to Murfreesboro, Arkansas. Visitors to the park search a 37-acre field, the eroded surface...
Ah, I see. I went to a diamond mine outside of Hot Springs when I was in middle school 8th grade back in 2002. It was a field trip. That might have been the place, but I don't remember it that well.Crater of Diamonds State Park | Arkansas State Parks

There's a very good reason that the springs in Hot Springs have warm water coming out of them.
So you're saying there's an underground volcano?
That is very thought provoking and it does make a lot of sense now that you mention it.
Looks like they're sitting on a Jellystone down there.
Now that we're done picking on Arkansas, let's look at Missouri.
