Do you realize that there are some three million people living around Mt. Vesuvius?

[conuly]

Vesuvius, of course, is a volcano that has erupted no less than thirty-six times since the eruption that destroyed Pompeii. Many of those eruptions seem to have been particularly severe, with ash reported miles and miles away.

This strikes me as a particularly foolhardy place to live. I can only wonder at the fact that three million people exist who do not think as I do.
