You still need a volcano and charged clouds. So you probably don't see that everyday.

Imagin seeing that stuff a couple hundred years ago, without any knowledge about the mechanics behind it. Wild!

I think you're correct. In South Korea at least 22 people died. The article you linked doesn't mention any casualties (or I didn't notice them).

As someone who doesn't like April Fools', I see your point. This plays with the trust of their relationship. However, if the trust is solid and there is a mutual understanding of how they can play with that trust, it's probably fine.

I guess it depends on the couple, e.g. how frequently they joke in a similar manor, what they know about their trigger points or if there is a hidden struggle for power. I think for most couples this would be a harmless prank both can laugh about and kiss afterwards.

To me the most interesting aspect of the article is kind of fuzzy, namely why she left.

There's a hint, but it remains unclear what her concerns about the finances were.

Swan has a different story. She says she raised concerns about the organization’s handling of finances, which the executives were unable, or unwilling, to address. In a 7 April 2022 email to former chairman Wiseley, Swan resigned.
“It is with deep regret that I feel the need to step down as deputy treasurer,” wrote Swan.

Later the article mentions her being slandered for defending a local library that displayed children’s books with LGBTQ+ themes. So maybe that topic contributed to her leaving the group, but all of this seems to have taken place after she already had left the group.

Am I missing something?

Seems unlikely. Wikipedia:

Upon the reading of his death warrant, he supposedly remarked, "I see that you have made three spelling mistakes."[4] However, this version appears to derive from a five act play Marion de Lorme by Victor Hugo, written in 1828 and performed in 1831.[5] Ferdinand Rothschild gives the quotation as "Permit me to point out that you have made three mistakes in spelling".[6] One source says merely that "Favras then quietly corrects the spelling and punctuation errors made by the clerk in his statement".[7]
