I’d only be worried if the Chuck Norris basin increased its activity.
Since I've been taking Effexor (prescription drug) every night is like that or worse (wilder). All my crazy dreams couldn't possibly come true.
Looks like we’re good here in Boca!
we are gonna die.
I’m gonna die, you’re gonna die, we’re all gonna die...
Just not today.
Oh for the love of St Petersburg.... you were not!
I was with you, we had liberty in NYC off the LST that made port there, and spent 10 hours in the Blarny Stone drinking, and acting like sailors on liberty till that ugly incident that will remain between us and that nice NYC Police woman....
that "barren and steaming land" really? Really, it was a subway grate, that you spooned with that homeless guy for 20 minutes.... I will give you the barren part but the, after we left the tattoo parlor (BTW did you ever get that one removed?) I know the CO was a bit perplexed on the whole "Dragon & enema bag, but of course the Chief was supportive, up until he saw his wife's name hidden in plane sight...
You and I have very different recollections of that time.
(/grin)
The land lord is just getting real po at things and is about to un leash awhile can of whoop ass
Here’s one for you ... this “supervolcano” averages one of its eruptions every 600,000 years. It’s now been 640,000 years since the last one.
The Yellowstone Supervolcano: New Finding —”Potential to Erupt With 2,000 Times the Force of Mount St. Helens”
A new study by the University of Utah revealed that the hot molten rock beneath Yellowstone National Park is 2 ½ times larger than previously estimated, meaning the park’s supervolcano has the potential to erupt with a force about 2,000 times the size of Mount St. Helens. By measuring seismic waves from earthquakes, scientists were able to map the magma chamber underneath the Yellowstone caldera as 55 miles long, lead author Jamie Farrell of the University of Utah said after presenting his findings last week to the American Geophysical Union. The last Yellowstone eruption happened 640,000 years ago, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The chamber is 18 miles wide and runs at depths from 3 to 9 miles below the earth, he added. That means there is enough volcanic material below the surface to match the largest of the supervolcano’s three eruptions over the last 2.1 million years, Farrell said. The largest blast — the volcano’s first — was 2,000 times the size of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington state. The USGS’ Yellowstone Volcano Observatory listed the park’s volcano alert level as “normal” for December.
Some scientists tracking earthquake swarms under Yellowstone have warned the caldera is overdue to erupt. Farrell dismissed that notion, saying there isn’t enough data to estimate the timing of the next eruption. “We do believe there will be another eruption, we just don’t know when.” A large earthquake at Yellowstone is much more likely than a volcano eruption, Farrell added. The 7.5-magnitude Hebgen Lake earthquake killed 28 people there in 1959.
Some 640,000 years ago there was a colossal cauldron of magma, a supervolcano, that exploded with such violence that it left an ash layer almost ten feet deep a thousand miles away in eastern Nebraska killing all plant life and covering almost all of the United States west of the Mississippi. Modern geological surveys have shown that this supervolcano erupts catastrophically every 600,000 years. The land that supervolcano is trapped in was called by Blackfoot Indians ‘the land of evil spirits’ -what we know today as Yellowstone National Park.

February 22, 1980 saw the big shake at Yellowstone. May 18, 1980 saw Mt. St. Helens blow its top.
Well, I'm a luddite when it comes to Geology. That being said, wouldn't the earthquakes show there is stress on the plates in the area? With stress, isn't releasing it a little at a time a whole lot better than one big shaker releasing it all at once?
As bad as Bush was on some things, can you imaging 9/11 happening on Gore's watch?
I been taking that for 16 years, but never had such a vivid one.. But hope your right LOL...
I think we had better start sacrificing some people liberal progressives to appease Mother Gaia
There, fixed it. We should sacrifice those that muck it all up w/ windmills and the like.
Oh, Al could have handled that easily, he would have blamed the whole thing on global warming and would have said that since it undoubtedly CONTRIBUTED to global warming as well as having been CAUSED BY global warming a positive feedback loop had been created and the polar ice caps would melt within six months.
How could that have been caused by global warming? Simple, the late summer heat drove the hijackers mad. What, you think I am exaggerating the madness of warming nuts? Watch this video please.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-QA-jlbRqY
Someone could make a fortune selling “Proud Climate Change Denier” buttons, caps, tee shirts.
If we live within easily drivable distance of Yellowstone, does that mean we are goners? What are they going to do to protect the grizzlies and wolves? Oh me, oh my........
Did someone bully or be bossy to you to make you say that?
