      We’ve effectively cured all fires by inoculating ourselves with the “stop drop and roll” vaccine.

    I’ve seen quicksand happen at the beach now twice. It’s crazier when you realize it’s not a thing, and then it’s a thing again. The one person called the park people because they thought it should be cordoned off, but conditions have to be just right.

      Learning about buoyancy in relation to quicksand is a helluva thing. You panic thinking you’re going to sink and drown but then you stop not even half way and realize it’s just more annoying mud but at the beach.

        It was in the dry sand part, not the water, but I get your point. The first person was just walking along and then one of their legs sank to their crotch.

      At least if you run off a cliff and don’t look down, you’ll never fall.

    And cliffs! Sheer cliffs seem to be much less geologically common than my childhood led me to believe.
