Must...resist...temptation...joke...UNNNNGH!
"Don't volcanos tend to blow up when they are blocked?"
I think it would akin to corking someone with the gastric flu.
I would not want to be around when those get expelled.
There's something about that phrase..
Not yet at least...
Perhaps after the next sudden release of pressure...
If the pressure builds too high, the locals could find themselves being pelted with 550 pound, chocolate colored, silty balls.
No, not a good idea to mess with Mother Nature.
Last paragraph from the story:
"An attempt last year to channel the mud to the sea triggered an explosion that killed 13 people when a natural gas pipeline cracked under the weight of a dam."
The same technique worked superbly on the levees in New Orleans < /sarc>
The end result of this may well be eligible as a new olympic sport....your heard of super slalom...this may become... super shot put.
Aren't these people supposed to be smarter and more sophisticated than us dolts over here in the daggum U.S. of A.?
Hmmm . . .whatcha think? A candidate for a Darwin Award?
Now, I don't know, I don't know where I'm a gonna go
when the volcano blow.
Let me say it now,
I don't know, I don't know where I'm a gonna go
when the volcano blow.
Ground, she 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 you, now
I don't know, I don't know where I'm a gonna go
when the volcano blow.
Let me hear you now.
I don't know, I don't know where I'm a gonna go
when the volcano blow.
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
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
But I don't want to land in New York City,
I don't want to land in Mexico.
I don't want to land on no Three Mile Island;
I don't want to see my skin a-glow.
Don't want to land in Comanche Sky Park,
or in Nashville, Tennessee.
I don't want to land in no San Juan airport or
the Yukon Territory.
Don't want to land no San Diego.
Don't want to land in no Buzzards Bay.
I don't want to land on no Ayahtolla.
I got nothin' more to say.
Chorus
No truth to the rumor that Mrs. Bill Clinton's ankles were also used to block the mud.
Why doesn't the USA send over its best resource to solve the problem? Superman, er, I mean Obama.
Dropping HUGE concrete balls into an active volcano ......
What could go wrong?
Golly, those folks should stop building so many Olympic-sized swimming pools so close to the volcano! They're just going to get filled up with mud! What a waste of money!
"An attempt last year to channel the mud to the sea triggered an explosion that killed 13 people when a natural gas pipeline cracked under the weight of a dam."
Whoops. They're just not having a good time with this thing. Perhaps a series of bad ideas here...
I've got a really bad feeling about jamming concrete buckshot down the barrel of something that is under pressure.
But hey...why worry? If anything disastrous happens the good old Great Satan will rush in with everything they need to get things back in order.
Liberals will soon be borrowing the idea to combat global warming: shooting snow balls at the sun to help cool down the Earth.
