Is the sky falling again?
---
The newspapers and magazines have all that white space around the advertisements to fill up
The radio stations have all that dead air where they want the hourly news reports to be.
Television and cable have invested millions of dollars in news readers and they want them to actually read something during the broadcast.
What do you think the answer is? Of course the sky is falling. Again.

On the other hand, if a hugely fat woman with a bottom surface of two square feet sits on the cabin floor of a 747 the aisle is blocked, if she then is helped to her feet and made to stand on a .02 square inch, 3 inch spike high-heel shoe she'll fall about 30,000 feet right through the bottom of the plane.

It's the cause of all the disasters that is the uber-lame part. Having only seen the ads, I'm guessing Global Warming (caused by American SUV drivers) is the cause ;-)

Is this the movie where they outrun a pyroclastic flow (which normally move at hundreds of miles per hour)?

One of the largest volcanic eruptions on record just got bigger.Since 250,000 years counts as "on record", how far back for "off record"?
To: blam
Oh no!!!

I don't remember. It's been a while since I saw it but you might be thinking of Dante's Peak. In that one they do outrun a pyroclastic flow.

Is this even in the same league with Yellowstone? Taupo is the lake that formed in its crater, larger than Lake Tahoe (616 square km, as compared to 500). It was a rhyolite eruption, one of the largest to have ever take place, and would have changed the weather for at least decades.
To: Strategerist
Again, the last eruption was 0.64 million years ago, implying that we are still about 90,000 years away from the time when we might consider calling Yellowstone overdue for another caldera-forming eruption
Whew. I guess my vacation to Yellowstone Park is back on again.

Just wait until the magma super heated gases hit the upper atmosphere were all the methane is collecting all these years, then, we are really DOOMED.
To: Miss Marple
You've gotta watch this one. It's so bad it's a great laugh.
Since this movie has two "24" actors in it (Xander Berkeley & Reiko Aylesworth), I still expect Kiefer Sutherland to appear and scream @ a volcano "what is your primary objective and who are you working for?" and then Carlos Berand to show up and save Reiko Aylesworth from Yellowstone.
