Always recall with great humor Algore's thoughtful insight in noting that only a couple of miles below the earth's crust, temperatures stand at a couple of million degrees.
Cited from his most recent interview with a stunned Conan O'Brien.
Then think in great awe how it is that humanity has overcome these odds in various mines and wells around the world without incinerating entire regions. Also consider that the sun runs at about 6000 degrees with the earth's core being much cooler and much deeper than a couple of miles.
Under the patronage of the Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman
"What is the first business of philosophy? To part with self-conceit. ...It is impossible for anyone to begin to learn what he thinks he already knows." -- Epictetus (c. 100 A.D.)

It's a great picture. It catches the swirl of water around his big fat pampered head beautifully. And you can't even see the porcelain.
