One has survived- interestingly, the thing could actually be driven. I had always wondered if it was merely a combination of props and models.

They have Twinkies. And I think the shelf life of them is measured in centuries.
Because it has erupted as a supervolcano previously. Look up the Lake Toba eruption 75,000 years or so ago.
Its history is of eruptions larger than any in recorded history. Ejecting a few thousand cubic kilometers of material not to mention dioxides of sulfur.
If there is a tomorrow............
WHAT “defiance”? I just read an article on yet another Fascist regulation put in place by Bush, which Obama will have a grand time enforcing—the CPSC requirement for prohibitively expensive testing of all items sold for children. It is going to shut down Goodwill and all other thrift stores, and lots of home-based businesses. A dream come true for big corporations and Fascists.
Bush is a Fascist. McCain is a Fascist. True, Obama will be MORE Fascist.
I don’t care if Yellowstone blows. I’d rather see the U.S. destroyed by an Act of God than see it turn into the rotting corpse of a Republic, which is what is happening already.
Why do they assume a super eruption instead of a good show like...Hawaii?”
The size and style of an eruption is affected by a number of things: the size, shape and depth of the magma chamber; the chemical nature and gas content of the magma; are some of the factors.
The Hawaii volcanos are basalt that seems to melt a flow rather rapidly. Yellowstone is in mid-continent which would be a more granite type rock which would behave differently than basalt. Although Y has had some eruptions that were not super eruptions, I don’t think they have been of the flowing type you find in Hawaii.
Also the 600,000 figure is an approximation with a past variation of 100 to 200 thousand years.
Now THAT will change the Earth’s climate. Not for the better either.
Surely the Asgard will save us?
Oh for heavens sakey Yall.
FR has been posting UFO/Yellowstone stories multiple and daily the last month.
What gives?
Is this stress relief for the upcoming new POTUS and the uncertainty of our Economy 09?
Rove, you magnificent bastard.

Maybe it's not that Africa is the source of all hominid development, just that during periodic global climate events it's the only place where hominids survived. Imo this explain why many hominid species suddenly died out. They weren't in a sustainable environment during a cataclysmic event.
Re multiple FR posts, and Toba eruption
Last week there was an increase in strength and frequency of Yellowstone earthquakes, it seems to have subsided now, See Comment 29 for a daily updated Y seismic map. The article posted was not an article at all, it was a letter to the editor. Mr. Bleaming is an alarmist with faulty “facts” If you go to the Tribune post there are a number of comments, and one by Cindy, I think it was, was intelligent and informative.
Toba was a major calamity. It left a caldera that is 18 miles by 65 miles. Even bigger than the most recent major Yellowstone caldera. It caused a major temperature downturn in the past Ice Age and I like Justa’s conjecture. One interesting note: I was checking out the “Hobbit” people on Flores Island, and I think they mentioned remains that were as old or older than the 74KYA Toba explosion. Worth more investigation on this.
The graphic in the previous post is kind of scary!
I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the heads up!
I can fully understand that. I don’t have allergies, but I’m a whole lot closer to Wyoming than you are. I may develope some digging out from under the ash if I survive the blast to start with! Hope this is all speculation and I check out before the big bang.
Good, maybe Obama will go and gag.
