Have noticed an increase in obsessiveness about Yellowstone from the Art Bell crowd, and internet kook science and nutball religious prophecy websites. This is what is ACTUALLY going on.
And of course there's on FReeper that, every time there's a really large quake elsewhere in the world, starts running around claiming it "triggered" activity at Yellowstone because he looks at an unfiltered Yellowstone seismograph plot that is simply showing the wave arrivals from thousands of miles away :-).
The key thing is people not understanding that there's a wide spectrum between "nothing" and "massive North-America destroying Caldera blast" with 99.99% of the activity towards the "nothing" scale. The bulge on the lake has nothing to do with a Caldera blast.
And there's been no increase in seismicity actually located at Yellowstone.

Maybe we can get Congress to ban Yellowstone National Park. That'll show it!

But what about those Al Qaeda Thunderballers secretly wiring the lake for a super nuke extinction level event activator?

Don't let Art Bell see this story, he'd have nothing else to talk about but ghost and bigfoot.... oh, and global warming

People who don't live in quake prone area don't realize there are quakes every day, the vast majority unfelt. A few miles from my house we had 7 quakes between 3-4 which were felt, but we also had 150 aftershocks (below 2.0) none of which I felt.

Holy scientific buffoonery!!
How'd these idiots overlook the magma chamber below the park, the ongoing uplift/earthquake research, and the MASSIVE* past volcanic eruptions of the slumering Yellowstone supercaldera?
*Massive, massive, massive. Three times in the last 2 million years Yellowstone has blown up in a supervolcano with ash covering the land from Washington state to Missouri. The next one ain't gonna be any fun either.

Question one: Are we all gonna die? And if so, when?
Question two: Is this caused by terrorists, and will it vaporize the cells of out bodies? Will it split the country into three?

Whoa cool, sounds like it could be a disaster flick called "Supervolcano YS 3000" or something.

I stopped listening to art bell when the world didn't slip into a new ice age on 5/5/2000.

And there's been no increase in seismicity actually located at Yellowstone. Well, crap! I guess I have to start counting on a stray asteroid or something. I think the "GREAT RESET BUTTON" is long overdue.
On what can I pin my hopes? ;-D

Pave Yellowstone. Before it's too late...
