Things I learned from Dante's Peak


You can drive right through 2000 degree lava without melting your rubber tires to liquid AND still keep driving.

People come up to the springs on the mountain for some 'hot nookie!' -says Grandma

-I learned: awkward sexual references are just fine, in front of your young grandchildren.

-Its okay if your boss died as long as he got to see the show
-After two or three days of being trapped in a flattened truck you wouldn't need to be carried-you can walk just fine
-Every time you look at something blowing up out of the window in your car you will see Linda Hamiltons reflection

- Pierce Brosnan is out of his MIND!

-never assume your normal sedan can cross a fairly deep river after seeing a large, specially designed 4x4 attempting to do so.

-Ruth is a strange hybrid of ageing hippie and hardcore survivalist. She's also a stupid, stupid woman.

If you're in a disaster movie you should get your groove on with your co-star a lot faster cause chances are (if it has to do with a volcano) your kid is going to wake up, want water, and all hell's going to break loose.

'hot nookie' can prove fatal.



Where there's smoke, there's barbecue!

and rescuing a dog is a bigger priority than being in an burning truck stuck in lava.

For me it would be!

-Sedan cars keep floating in rivers, the front hood well above water while a big ass truck (with snorkel, mind you) goes under and even gets stuck.

-When investigating a volcano, never crawl down to go kick a robot, because if you do just at that time you will get a seismic shock, heavy enough for a rock slide.

-When the people are fleeing the town, the town bridge is wide enough for two cars at once, when the national guards leave it suddenly shrunk barely wide enough for a humvee ... mustve been the heat from all that lava going left and right.

-Terry could go back to work after hes alright in the head again. Nancy is the most optimistic person ever for thinking that would happen in only 10 years.

-If you are in a small motorboat on an acidic lake the propeller will be eaten away in just a few minutes, the rod the propeller is attached to will not show any signs of corrosion.

-If this happens all you need is a jacket around your arm to paddle to the shore ... they wear some goddamn strong clothing these geologists in america, old ladys however dont they get eaten too.

-If you want to impress the milf mayor of the second best place to live in, grab a rock alongside the road and study it intensely.

-If you need a robot to investigate volcano craters make it with 8 legs and practically zero maneuverability, success guaranteed ... to fail.

Towns next to volcano's have no evacuation plan for eruptions.

Too much bureaucracy impedes practical thought

reply

A preteen boy can drive a vehicle with a manual transmission without issue, as long as he's on the way to save Grandma.

If you find a volcano is about to erupt, don't arrange to evacuate the town immediately. Instead wait until everyone's had a good night's sleep, been to work and school, then inform them at 6 o'clock in the evening.

When the taps start to produce banana thick shakes, it means a volcano is about to erupt nearby.

If you're unhappy with your kids building a den, don't tell them off, it may come in handy some day, especially if they have food and drinks in there.

Don't leave your car keys lying around if one of your kids knows how to drive.

Scan all of grandma's old photographs at the earliest opportunity, then upload them to a photo sharing site. At least that way if she has to leave her house in a hurry she won't worry about leaving her precious photos behind.

Helicopter pilots who own their own helicopters can make a fortune when living in remote, mountainous areas, provided they know what they are doing that is.

gotta evacuate the townsfolk.
