#1 The eruption 640,000 years ago was huge - bigger than Krakatoa.

#7 Time to put major geothermal power systems under Yellowstone and exploit it. All that heat going to waste is just asking for an explosion. Take some out and purchase less oil.

#12 A little Yellowstone trivia: it has erupted about every 6-700,000 years (630K, 1.3M, 2.0M). The last eruption 630,000 years ago was small, but still 500 times Mount St. Helens.

#13 Hmmmmmmm...we might be ready for human testing.

#15 Please, dear USA, do us all a favor and wipe the smile off Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Pakistan,...'s face before being blown to oblivion by the supervolcano. Time is the essence, faster please. Thanks in advance.

#18 I see a win-win situation. Bush: Suggest selling 100,000 acres of federal land around Yellowstone. All the moonbats in the nation: rush there to prevent the deal. Yellowstone: Blow your top.

Works for me. Of course, I wouldn't want to be in Grand Forks, Billings, or Jackson Hole when it happened...

#20 New Scientist: Pulse reveals beating heart of a supervolcano from March 1 only mentions fluctuations in elevation - up to 120 millimetres - over a seven-year period.
so this five inches is over 7 years and sort of goes up and down...

#21 Lol, RC - that did suck something awful, lol.

I saw the doco on the Science Channel. It was very well done, overall, but had the same breathiness we hear on the Near Earth Objects stories and the Asteroid of Doom. That we can't do diddley-squat at present about either one, though there's lots of grant money riding on the AoD thingy, sorta makes me yawn. Yeah, we're doomed, alrighty... one at a time, anyway.

Do we rename it in honor of John Holmes or Ron Jeremy?
