Lochnagar mine crater near La Boisselle, France.
Secretly dug by the British beneath a German field fortification, the underground explosives were set off on the first day of the Battle of the Somme.

Best part , after Violence, her next escalation of anger , was the silent treatment.. typically 10 days.. which was great and explains why I just taunted her in the preceding phase.

There were 19 such mines dug for the Battle of Messines, 3 did not go off
one blew up in 1955.. took out a couple of cows.

the 2 left, have about 400 tonnes of Ammonal(Tannerite) in them and are near a village.


17 big ponds in the area

Mount Erebus is the second-highest volcano in Antarctica and the southernmost active volcano on Earth. This is what the ice towers that form around its steaming vents look like in a great picture by photographer George Steinmetz

You guys don't understand how to get 'your money for nothing and chicks for free'.

I knew Hunter Biden who taught me the scam.

Same tactic was used during the civil war between the states. I don’t remember who was on the receiving end, but it was pretty cool to see the actual site in, Virginia I think it was.
