-> Thought for the day: why do fictional volcanoes always have to have scary names? Like [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Mount Doom]] and [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Death Mountain]]? RL volcanoes have nice names, like Shasta and Fuji and St. Helens. Look at that, it's called SAINT. Not horrible or terrifying at all! [[note]]Mount Saint Helens does have Native American names that mean "Keeper of Fire" and "Smoking Mountain", making it a straight example in those languages. Also, the kana for "Fuji Yama" can be read as "[[TheWarSequence mountain abounding with soldiers]]"[[/note]]
