Mystery #158 – Magma

Joey Presents: Great Mysteries of the Universe Mystery #158 – Magma "Hard as a rock" is a cliché. A cliché, of course, being one of those things we've said so many times that we aren't allowed to say it anymore. Now the person who first said this particular phrase did so with a certain faith, a faith that a rock was something… hard. But then came magma. Oh, that jerk magma had to go and ruin everything. For those of you living under a rock (and may it be a nice, firm, non-squishy rock for the rest of your days. Amen) magma=lava=boiling hot melted rock. In short, magma is a rock that is not as hard as a rock… stupid inconsistent minerals. Don't be fooled, though, it'd still be painful to get hit with it, just for different reasons. Let's just say "molten" is never something worth giving a poke.
