Even centuries later, one of the world's most famous catastrophes continues to yield amazing discoveries that also somehow tap into our love of the macabre.
On Tuesday, archaeologists revealed they had discovered the skeleton of a victim who died attempting to flee the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD but was ultimately killed when a gigantic stone landed on his upper body.

On the one hand, it's an unimaginably terrible way to die, a tragic scene that's forever frozen in time.
On the other, it's straight out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon, something so awful one can't help but laugh in disbelief -- take this line from NPR's report: "The skeleton's head has not been located, but archaeologists believe it is probably crushed beneath the stone block."
And, boy, did the internet waste no time in identifying with this poor soul.

Archaeologists also found what was apparently a horse and stable, but there's really nothing that can compare to the doomed man.
