I love tornadoes/I love arachnids/I love hot magma/I love the giant squids

Thanks to lnhammer, I already knew about this XKCD comic, and after years as a Scout and Scout leader, I already knew the song “I Love the Mountains,” which the comic is loosely based on. But while I’d also heard mentions here and there of a Discovery Channel ad that XKCD was playing off of, I hadn’t seen the actual ad until origamilady pointed me to it.

It’s wonderful! I mean, how can you watch this and not smile?

It’s also part of the wondrousness of the universe that further riffs on both the ad and the comic would spontaneously appear from there, of course.
