1815: Indonesian volcano erupts killing 80,000

Quote Of The Day
"The fact that a cloud from a minor volcanic eruption in Iceland - a small disturbance in the complex mechanism of life on Earth - can bring to a standstill the aerial traffic over an entire continent, is a reminder of how, with all its power to transform nature, humankind remains just another species on the planet Earth."
(Slavoj Zizek)

Bonus Quote Of The Day
"I leave the 20th century with no regrets. But one more thing - if anybody's listening, that is. Nothing scientific. It's purely personal. But seen from out here everything seems different. Time bends. Space is boundless. It squashes a man's ego. I feel lonely. That's about it. Tell me, though. Does man, that marvel of the universe, that glorious paradox who sent me to the stars, still make war against his brother? Keep his neighbour's children starving?"
(George Taylor, Planet Of The Apes)
