Sheesh. I thought I had problems.

So the Eastern seaboard could be wiped clean by an act of God? I thought He said He wouldn't do that again?
What a shame /sarcasm

Some say that a nation that would deny a mother giving her dying daughter water deserves it.

Ah, from China. We're all gonna die, we're all gonna die! I think I'll have another Martini. Yep, that's what I'll do, I'll have another Martini. I just wonder if it'll hit Minnesota, and how hard. Now where is that Vermouth?

[kalee]

Thank you!

You can count me among their number.

Since the volcano is such a big deal why don't we have Congress come up with a pork barrel project to safely level it and prevent the possible tsunami?

$300 billion to bulldoze it ought to be enough.

Or we could just use the Peaceful Atom to level it.

Or we could just laugh it off and stop worrying about bulls*it.

Oh NO! ANYTHING but the robots! FLEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard something about a smart talking chimp from outer space who unites all of the monkeys and apes and then....

(now stop me if you've heard this one before)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Well, after reading THIS!!!! NOTHING will surprise me anymore.

[sodpoodle]

Wot abowt thet icebirg up yonda in Elasky?

Maybe in the year 2100 the big angst will be about when the robots will rise up and enslave us all..

A bit late to worry about it then. It's already happened. Those automated telephone menu devices are a sort of robot you know.

Man I hate those things.

I went to that sight and LINDA MOULTON HOWE jumped right out at me . I think she is an Art Bell regular. I saw one of her shows on The History Channel or Discovery Channel. Someone to be wary of. She makes her living with this kind of thing. But, this could still happen. I'm in Colorado and all FReepers are welcome-everyone else stay where you are.

Mostly blue states or the blue part of red states ... OK, bring it on!

The lava this volcano has is thicker than taffy, much like what Mt St Helens is producing.
Drilling may introduce water or other fluids into contact with the lava.
When water meets magma in a volcano, it flashes to steam and blows up.
Usually called a phreatic explosion in a volcano.
If lava particles come with it, it's a phreatomagmatic explosion.

Seems like a good idea, but it would likely create more problems than it would fix.

The editors at China Daily must have read the Moslem scholar's claim that the Koran predicts it will happen. ;)

Link to a topographical relief map of said volcano.

I looked at your relief map and, I'm going to be very honest with you, it didn't give me any relief. I'm still so scared I could SH*T!

Thanks, but just a tad too close to the Yellowstone Caldera.
I think I will just stay right where I am....

Rut-Ro.

ROFLMAO! Thanks, I needed that today.
