Mrs JP and I were in Iceland at the Thingvellir National Park (which is amazing to see - where the tectonic plates are separating) and we were gathered around a geyser that erupted at fairly specific intervals. 3/4 of the circle was crowded with people waiting for the next eruption so of course we went to the empty side - not even computing that that the reason it was empty was because that was the way the wind was blowing

Of course we found out instantly. (not like there were clues - like the fact that on that side of the geyser the ground was soaking wet.
