Is there any legitimacy to it?

Sure. These things have happened and will happen. On our watch? Hah! The Red Sox will win the World Series first.

No, no when the Detroit Lions win the Super Bowl, then it really will be time to panic.

Yellowstone is a supervolcano. Seriously, what is all the steam and sulfur and frequent earthquakes all about? And that is when it is quiescent.

"The eruption released 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles) of ash and rock debris into the atmosphere, much of it as fine ash which blocked out solar radiation, kicking the world back into an ice age," he said.

Well, that ought to take care of Global Warming ;O).

Well with that kind of prediction then I can safely predict that the Earth will collide with the moon. It could be in a few, 50 or another 1000 years, but sooner or later it will happen.

No it won't. It is scientific fact that the moon is moving away from the earth. It will someday be gone but it will never collide with the earth.

The biggest badest volcano of them all is right here in the good old USA,Yellowstone, and it goes off large about every 600,000 years. And the last large eruption was, you guessed it, 600,000 years ago.

Oh, sure. These things have been happening for millions of years and will happen again.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe not for another 10,000 years. But 10,000 years is but a blip on a geological scale.

We need to start bleeding off the excess energy at these supervolcano sites.

Volcano by JIMMY BUFFETT


I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Chorus:
Let me say now I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Ground she's movin' under me
Tidal waves out on the sea
Sulphur smoke up in the sky
Pretty soon we learn to fly

Chorus:
Let me hear ya now I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Now my girl quickly say to me
Mon you better watch your feet
Lava come down soft and hot
You better lava me now or lava me not

Chorus:
Let me say now I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow

-- Spoken: "Mr Utley..."

No time to count what I'm worth
'Cause I just left the planet earth
Where I go I hope there's rum
Not to worry mon soon come

Chorus:
Now I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Chorus:
One more now I don't know (ah he don't know)
I don't know (he don't know, mon)
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow

But I don't want to land in New York City
Don't want to land in Mexico (no no no)
Don't want to land on no Three Mile Island
Don't want to see my skin aglow (no no no)

Don't want to land in Commanche Sky park
Or in Nashville, Tennessee (no no no)
Don't want to land in no San Juan airport
Or the Yukon Territory (no no no)

Don't want to land no San Diego
Don't want to land in no Buzzards Bay (no no no)
Don't want to land on no Ayotollah
I got nothing more to say

Chorus:
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Chorus:
Just a one more, I don't know (he don't know)
I don't know (I don't know, man)
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Not as bad as the instability when the moon is gone though. Apparently it will make the earth uninhabitable.

I would love to have seen Krakatoa when she blew. My father spent many years retelling me the story of how a ship in English waters heard the explosion and thought it was a nearby ship in distress.

I'd also would've love to have seen Vesuvius when she blew. Pliny the Elder did, but then he and his little boat were 'bye bye' after he saw it, so I guess I will just have to postpone my Sumatra vacation and ask those living there to
GET THE HECK OUTATHERE!

The Ring of Fire is not just a Johnny Cash song.
