YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. -- Steam wafted over Hank Heasler as he stood on a boardwalk and watched water from Steamboat Geyser shoot into the air with an attention-grabbing "WHOOSH!"

"This could be it," the park geologist said excitedly, squinting against the morning sun at the impressive spray. But Heasler had no better idea than the tourists around him as to when the world's tallest geyser would next erupt.

Just add a heaping amount of Metamucil and that geyser will be as regular as Old Faithful. ;)

My brother came to visit me a few years ago, and made a glass of Metamucil in the kitchen sink. He didn't realize that my kitchen sink had the faucets reversed, and made it with quite warm water. The look on his face when he took the first sip was priceless...

"That's the million dollar question. It's changing more than anyone has noticed before," Heasler said. "Are we noticing because we're looking? Or because something is abnormal?"

News flash for Mr. Mesler: everything that happens in nature is "normal."

I don't understand.

I was making a joke about the misspelling of "recent" as "resent" which would mean "having been sent again".

Yep. If I remember correctly, LAT was one of the plaintiffs in the suit against FR a couple of years ago. Why should we give the dirt-bags any hits?

I'm no geologist,and I did'nt stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I am interested in this topic that could, according to some experts, result in a catastrophe that would make the Mt. St. Helens eruption look like squeezing a blackhead in comparison. So Thankya bedolido.
