The Daily Mail stirs up some Euro anxiety with a headline today "Is a super-volcano just 390 miles from London about to erupt?" The story talks about the little known Laacher See volcano in northwestern Germany. It last erupted about 12,000 years ago and the Daily Mail believes it is due to erupt again.
It is not considered extinct, merely inactive. An eruption of the Laacher See volcano would destroy much of Europe as we know it. London is 390 miles away. The German capital of Bonn is about 25 miles away.
The potential eruption of the Laacher See volcano is not the only geologic threat to the industrialized nations.

This is but one of many areas around the globe headed toward the next 'Big One'.

Great, something for the Greens to get all wee wee’d up about!
Well that settle it then.
I just love devasating volcanoes. They give me that warm, uplifted feeling.
Well, at least that would be the end of Eurabia. But, then, where would the Mohammedans go to escape the consequences of their evil cult? Perhaps they could move the volcanoe to Turkey near the Iraq border....Germans being clever engineers and all..
Dr. Evil: You forget that we’re inside a volcanooooo. We’re surrounded by liquid hot magMAH.

The German capital of Bonn…The German capital is Berlin, not Bonn. And if that volcano is going to nuke Brussels, too, losing Bonn will be an acceptable sacrifice.
Someday.
Devastating.
Several geologists have remarked that this article is complete nonsense.

Alliterations Astonishingly Amusing

Like a line from the Batman TV show.
Best link for volcano information and commentary.
Note that the originator of the article was Al Jazera.

Maybe the Iceland volcano will steal it’s thunder,,,,,,,. Or would it be lava?
Seriously, there was a movie on German TV about a volcano erupting in Germany and ever since a lot of Germans seem to wish it was true for some reason. My joke was that it was near Koengen by Stuttgart...like as in King Koengen, but these folks are really that bored and boring!
I read those. They are convincing that this is 2012, end of the world nonsense.
Bonn is still the German capitol? I thought they moved back to Berlin after reunification.
