Dormant Volcano Story

"How the heck does a volcano become dormant?!"

Volcano_eruption

Our org was proofreading our articles when our coordinator saw in one of the articles something about a dormant volcano choosing to stay dormant. And found that its metaphorical comparisson with something was just totally illogical and unscientific… so she asked us… "Does that mean an active volcano can just choose to sleep and tell its magma to stop coming out whenever it wants to? C’mon… that’s impossible. How the heck does a volcano go into its dormancy anyway?"

Lotsa theories were given.

Numerous explanation were suggested.

But none ever satisfied the thirsty mind of our coordinator. So she sent me to the library. So I ran. But I was not able to find the answer. All they have there were "how volcanoes are formed" or "Kinds of volcanoes" but nmothing about the process of Dormancy.

So she made me ran to the nearest Com Shop (our Office has two computers, but we have a very low budget to afford an internet connection). I searched and found this:

A dormant or sleeping volcano is a volcano that has been quiet for a long time, but still has signs it may erupt again. A volcano becomes dormant when the vent is blocked by hardened lava, called a plug, or if the magma seeps back under the earth’s crust. Volcanoes can be dormant for hundreds of years. Then suddenly a volcano will erupt again. The eruption is usually very violent. The plug of a dormant volcano stops the magma from rising. Then pressure under the plug builds up, so the plug gives away and a large eruption is caused. The volcano is then classified again as an active volcano.

My classmate has a sex video.

OK OK he has a sex video… with another guy.

But i really do not care. What i do care is, WHY AM I THE LAST ONE TO KNOW ABOUT IT?!!

I discovered about this when my blockmate, Julie, who is a member of the student body organization for College of Nursing, told me that "there is another video scandal made by nursing student". so i asked… "there is ‘another’,i mean there was one before this?". She said "yeah, this is the third actually". END OF THE STORY.

Just this morning, i overheard my two classmates talking that they’ve finally seen one of our classmates sex video. thinking that it was the most recent video, i asked all my classmate, whom i think would never do such thing, who it was.

L said, "it’s (name)… dont you know? God, that mustve been a year ago. They love each other anyway, so why dont we let them by themselves. Dont tell me you’ve only learned about this today?"

and i was like… "so everyone knows about this?"

" i think so."

HEEEEEEEEEEECK

how come i didn’t know?
