well well well, if it isn’t a new xkcd

You do have to be careful, though–sometimes, instead of water, you hit this free fuel that you can sell for a lot of money instead.

    Be careful though. If you keep on digging deeper and deeper, you’ll find magma. That’s not a bad deal either, because you can use that heat to run a geothermal power plant.

        Fair enough. We’re going to assume it’s completely safe until proven otherwise. Vulcanologists can tell you that the viscosity can be pretty high, so there could be a choking hazard though. Further study would be needed to determine the exact nature of potential hazards.
