Bright orange lava spews up into the air, dark smoke mingles with the clouds and the gloomy night takes on an ominous red glow.
Towering 1,200ft above the tropical stillness of the Sunda Strait in Indonesia, one of the most terrifying volcanoes the world has ever known has begun to stir once more.
Almost 126 years to the day since Krakatoa first showed signs of an imminent eruption, stunning pictures released this week prove that the remnant of this once-enormous volcano is bubbling, boiling and brimming over.

We should send ALL of them for a -preliminary- investigation.

Don’t be so quick to push the panic button. Anak Krakatoa is jes a little ol’ cinder cone. Those can certainly erupt but they don’t go boom.
A replay of Krakatoa would certainly be messy but nothing like it’s earlier neighbor Tambora in 1815. Or that real monster 70,000 years ago that nearly killed off humanity.

Nope, they’re talking about race-specific engineered bioweapons right now.

Krakatoa is in fact west of Java, but I was refering to the 1969 movie Karakatoa east of Java.

I’m sure we will soon hear that this is Bush’s fault!
