This is a question Amazing displays of ignorance

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Volcanos
Ah, now seems like a good time to ask a question that has been bugging me for some time, in films and cartoons when you see a volcano, if you looked down into one would you actually see the lava?

Not normally
It would depend on whether it was erupting or not. Most of the time, you're not going to see a boiling lake of lava so much as some steam and soil.

Your view of lava would probably be blocked by the ash cloud.
But I think you can with Hawai'ian-type volcanoes that just fart frequently instead of exploding rarely.
