Does anyone else think of Michael Moore and a huge plate of burritoes when the words earthquake and uncorked are used in the same sentence?

lol. Katla erupts roughly every 80 years I think they say, so it is due for an eruption even by itself since it last went in 1918....though much less than the one impacted by E....in 1721 or whatever. We’ll see what happens.

The “Year Without Summer” was a result of the Krakatoa event. . .

I once had a girlfriend whose name was Eyjafjallajökull, really.

Anyway, the Mayan Apocalypse is coming 2 years ahead of schedule, isn’t it?

The Laki volcano is considered a central cause of the French Revolution, as it led to a poor harvest and public unrest in the country.

Perfect timing, Obama can blame the coming R2/CW2 on a volcano (not his policies).

Nah. It ain't your nickname - your nickname is easier to spell.

(Harder to pronunciate of course, butt easier to missspell.)

And it is either the Arctic or Antarctic that has a volcano that is beneath the ice sheet.

Mount Erebus in Antarctica.
