Speaking of volcanoes, there is a movie coming on the SciFi channel in two hours called "Magma: Volcanic Disaster." It's really, really bad but worth watching for a good laugh.

Karl Rove has it hidden away. If it ever got out that he was responsible....well it would be bad...very bad.

If memory serves Yellowstone is a supervolcano.

"If memory serves Yellowstone is a supervolcano."

Yup. Forty thousand years overdue too.

Is this even in the same league with Yellowstone?

I've seen it before and the review doesn't say how bad it really is. I and some of my friends from a "24" message board who are fans of Reiko Aylesworth like to watch it and make fun of it. Only her and Xander Berkeley are good in this movie as they do well despite the crappy script.

But Yellowstone will go BOOM in the movie. It's the cause of all the disasters that is the uber-lame part.

Oh, God I've been worrying about supervolcanos, meteor strikes, transfats, global warming, Britney Spears, mercury in the tuna, the heartbreak of whatever that skin disease that I can't spell is, and now it turns out instead of mere supervolcanos I should have been worrying about twin supervolcanos!!

This is so confusing, I just can't keep up.

The bad news is that double eruption represents a whole new way that supervolcanoes can threaten humanity.
Single barrel vesus double-barrel; I guess the difference will be in the rifling ...

Can you be more specific about when it's going to erupt?

I want to include it in my day planner on the right day.

Yes. If you're into that sort of thing, look what happened 75,000 years ago when the super-volcano Toba blew:

Late Pleostocene Human Population Bottlenecks. . . (Toba)

It's recorded in our DNA.

BTW, if Yellowstone blew, it wouldn't end the way the movie did.
