The Daily Mail stirs up some Euro anxiety with a headline today "Is a super-volcano just 390 miles from London about to erupt?"

Well that settle it then.
I just love devasating volcanoes. They give me that warm, uplifted feeling.
Well, at least that would be the end of Eurabia. But, then, where would the Mohammedans go to escape the consequences of their evil cult? Perhaps they could move the volcanoe to Turkey near the Iraq border....Germans being clever engineers and all..

Someday.

Maybe the Iceland volcano will steal it’s thunder,,,,,,,. Or would it be lava?
Seriously, there was a movie on German TV about a volcano erupting in Germany and ever since a lot of Germans seem to wish it was true for some reason. My joke was that it was near Koengen by Stuttgart...like as in King Koengen, but these folks are really that bored and boring!
I read those. They are convincing that this is 2012, end of the world nonsense.
Bonn is still the German capitol? I thought they moved back to Berlin after reunification.
