It's true. At least in the sense that it actually exists, not that it's an entrance to Hell.


Some natural gas there got ignited during an excavation many years ago and it's been burning ever since.

 

[platypus]

Yeah its real.

Listen to the Dies Irae from Verdi's Requiem whilst viewing those pictures. Never has a piece of music so captured the descent to hell and day of judgement.

Is there a road leading there too?

Yes, and it's paved with good intentions.

That's some divine comedy right there.

But remember, reducing your CO2 emissions by a trivial amount will save the world

I know it's not shopped, was being a ****.

Am I the only one thinking that it could be better utilised as a giant BBQ?

Or a tax resource for the New Order.

Bah, whip out a bottle of dry powder and move along..

But the problem isn't with the fire its with the gases which would be released if it wasn't on fire......
