It sounds like they're going to have a "Dickens-of-a-Time" when those concrete balls get blown out of the volcano...

Constipating a volcano is an interesting idea, but its implementation is best watched from a distance.

Fiber, more fiber. Try ground up corn cobs. Stops leaks in radiators for a while. (And, of course, screws up your water pump.)

Nope. And if you survive the "Big splat" then there is the aftermath...no fun cleaning off all those out of the way places on, around, and under the seat.

Good idea. Drop her into the volcano. Wasn't something similar done in the Classic Antiquity? Etna volcano, IIRC, and they tossed somebody in.
