"After nearly 200 years of lying dormant, the volcano beneath the Eyjafjallajökull glacier on Iceland’s southern coast began to rumble to life last December."

I was just thinking that if they added a few more consonants to its name, the volcano might sink into the sea from the weight of its own moniker...

St Helens wasn’t as much ash overall, IIRC. Or wrong area, maybe.

“What effect on prices?”

The price controls instituted by gov’t. will be just as effective as any other time they have been tried

Orders of magnitude make a difference.

"I wonder how much glacial ice this volcano is going to release into the Atlantic."

That’s fresh fruits and vegetables, which are a rapid transportation issue, not a global shortage issue.

I guess 6 months 22 days 17 hours 43 minutes and 18 seconds.

That value was obtained by estimating the length and breadth of the secondary fissures an multiplying by the gravitational constant expressed as a logarithmic value of the daily CO2/So2 emission ratio.

I hope it stays sunny enough for us to grow our own vegetables. Oh my.

,” said President Barack Obama. “Leaders of the Republican Party ... called the passage of (the health care reform bill) ‘Armageddon.’ Armageddon! ‘End of freedom as we know it.’ So after I signed the bill, I looked around to see if there were any asteroids falling or some cracks opening up in the earth.

This and the strange light over the Midwest Wednesday night?

It could 'mess up peoples minds' to how little control they have regarding what they eat...they may get the idea that it is time to change the situation.
