SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST have a really bad day. Not as bad as the skeleton who was uncovered by archaeologists in Pompeii, Italy mind you.
To recap on some primary school history, about 2000 years ago (around 79 AD) Mt. Vesuvius erupted and destroyed most of the Roman city of Pompeii killing nearly everyone in it. We know a lot of this because the lava and ash that covered a lot of the city thus preserving it and allowing us to learn a lot about the peopleās lives and deaths.
So archaeologists were excavating an area of city when they uncovered this very unfortunate skeleton.
It appears that he survived the initial eruption but end up being crushed by a rock instead which I believe is the textbook definition of a very bad day. Someone get Daniel Powter on the phone.
Naturally people are relating to this unfortunate sequence of events with a lot of gusto.

Puts your bad day into perspective doesn't it?
