So, I finished watching Death Note last night and have been so blown away by the entire series that nothing else I tried to watch was holding my attention. When all else fails, On Demand to the rescue, right? They had a show about Krakatoa and how devastating that explosion was. And how it will happen again. I know, I know, right after Yellowstone goes up but still. Very, very sobering. The biggie with that volcano is that the series of eruptions in 1883 wasn't even the biggest. I mean, this thing blew 1/3 of the island apart into three pieces. Not to mention the tsunamis and the fact that the explosion was heard 3000 miles away. They went on to give scientific evidence that a much larger eruption happened way back in 535 BC. And then they went on to explain the gloom and doom that will happen when the volcano goes up again.

Then I watched the show about Hannibal crossing the Alps with his elephants and what a brilliant tactician he was. Along with being extremely brutal. Nothing like a little light viewing before bed, right?
