Volcanoes 2011



The Atlantic's news photography blog "In Focus" has compiled a post with 36 photos of active volcanoes during 2011, from countries such as Chile, Japan and Iceland.

Out of an estimated 1,500 active volcanoes around the world, 50 or so erupt every year, spewing steam, ash, toxic gases, and lava.

I have a Japanese shirt that says "It's time to be cool like a boy"

I wonder why this specific mistranslation proliferates. I wonder what it is actually intended to convey.

(For the record, this is what a drunk post by Dan Smith looks like)

What a coincidence, I love girlfight too. Mickey, you and I suddenly have a lot in common. I especially enjoy the comment on brinkmanship at the bottom of the shirt.
