At least there isn't a push for emergency legislation to prevent it.

possibly putting the planet into a volcanic winter. Gee, I guess we could use more global warming then. Ironic.

NASA is working on a way to prevent the supervolcano from destroying mankind, including trying to cool the magma before it spills over.

In other news, a giant asteroid could hit the earth and destroy all civilization.
Venus could be populated by a race of giant sulfur-eating slugs.
Dolphins may have psychic powers and just refuse to communicate with us because they are jerks.

When it blows, I have to break out my single malt liquor and a couple of fine cigars...
I don’t worry about thongs I can’t control...
It’s been nice knowing you..

Couldn’t we just throw a bunch of virgin coeds in a cauldera opening or sumthin’? ASU must have a few around to donate.. unless the professors or ball teams didn’t get to them already.
