Undertoad Monday Nov 22 09:25 PMNov. 22, 2010: Mt Etna smoke ring
A source labels this "A Mount Etna smoke ring", but at first I was totally skeptical; wouldn't the conditions have to be kind of ideal to "blow" a smoke ring? A volcano couldn't do that could it? Doesn't the image look manufactured?
Well, I couldn't find any new information about Mt. Etna's smoke rings... but it turns out Etna has been blowing rings for quite some time.
Who knew?

note: actually I can't see this video right now from office, but I guess it's one of the low-res ones I already know.

By the way: I have seen some of these rings by myslef: they're real... and amazing! Each one last a couple of minutes.
