I think that might be synthetic lava

It is, and as far as volatiles (methane, SO2, various acids) dissolved in it, it won't have any, because in order to make synthetic lava, you need to melt rocks, which have already had the volatiles exsolved out during crystallisation.

1200°C will liquify it nicely. If you can melt metal, you can melt basalt, and it's not hard to melt metal with a bit of equipment.

Found my new favorite legitimate safety sign at work: "Do not enter conveyor"

Not climb on. Not stand on. Not crawl under. Not sit on. Not lean on or any other thing I've seen. "Enter". Like what, don't crawl into the machinery?

We transported 11 people with a VW Superbug once. I say "transported with", not "in", because one of them was on the roof.

Neat, I guess 1200 isn't *that* hot. What about Granite and Gneiss?

This might hurt a bit..


at my old job, there was a fire extinguisher on a wall bracket right outside the office. the bracket was barely held on by two little nails, and basically only supported itself by the fact that the extinguisher was heavy enough to keep the nails dug upwards into the wall, but it always looked like the slightest bump would knock it off the wall. i was always terrified i'd brush by it without looking and end up with a broken foot.

I'm imagining that the day after it was completed, a grey-haired old timer wandered into the architect's office and showed that the entire thing could have been replaced with 3 junctions and a small bridge.

This might hurt a bit..


when i worked for FedexOffice, we had people try to ship dangerous or not properly packed stuff all the time. I actually enlarged and copied the section of the fedex shipping manual that says "A fedex employee can refuse any shipment at any time, with no reprimand, any shipment that they consider to be dangerous or unable to be shipped without causing damage to itself, or to other packages or to package handlers"

One day, a guy came in with an anchor. A big rear end anchor, with a shipping label taped to it. I politely told him to go fly a kite, after he refused to have it packed safely (it would have fit into the very largest box with a shitload of filler material) He wanted to just ship it as it was. Later that night, our driver came in, and said the craziest thing happened to her. she was doing a pickup at the mailboxes and more down the road, and one of the employees was being put in an ambulance. "Yeah, some guy brought in an anchor, and it fell off the counter and sliced the kid's leg open"

They're all about the same at ambient temperature, granite goes to like 1260° before it starts melting. Once you get into different pressures underground, and add water, it varies wildly.

And the VW had me driving, my girlfriend on my lap, two people in the same config with one in the footwell on the passenger side, four in the back with one lying across them and the aforementioned roof idiot. We only went a few blocks, and I was the only sober person. Still, dumb as poo poo.
