Why am I not surprised about the Indonesian volcano tidbit?

They should make flesh-colored bubblegum – for when it pops.

Of course, the typical octopus has difficulty getting 26 people to put parts of themselves in its mouth all at once…

Penguins can jump up to 9 feet in the air.

That octopus has a bite that can kill 26 people, and you’re only one of them. Fortunately I won’t have to worry about it because I don’t go in the water.

I’d like to see that volcano spew blew lava.

Take care and may God bless.

Why did the original bubblegum have dye at all?

colorful today

And the rubber eraser is dyed pink because the inventor wanted to fool everyone into thinking it was Walter E. Diemer’s invention…

Yes, but which 26 people?

So who ever found that out was the 27th person.

So this octopus bite me and besides me, 25 other people die? I’ll ponder that until I understand this.

The blue (sulfur) flames are almost invisible in daylight, BTW, so be careful wandering around the crater of the Kawa Ijen volcanol

Before I read the strip, I glanced at the octopus and thought it was a pair of bloomers.

Not 25, not 27, but exactly 26. You have been warned.

Now that 26 people are gone we should be safe.

Those 26 people should stay out of the water…

BLUE flames? What is the chemical that does that??

And there is no anti venom for the octopus bite, the venom causes paralysis and the victim stops breathing. To survive victim has to be placed on a respirator. There are videos on youtube of idiot tourists to Australia picking them up, they dont know how close to death they came.
