#3 Interesting. On FoxNews, running in the background most of the time, I heard something on this and turned to see a video clip of lava running down the side of a volcano. Since the sound was off (listening to tunes at the time), I can't exactly verify, but the graphic under the clip identified it as Merapi...

#4 What appears to have happened is part of the lava dome, which has been building for weeks, collapsed. Not a full blown eruption where a large amount of material is ejected. Experts say such an eruption is imminent.

#9 I also just realized... noone's done any "Joe Vs. The Volcano" jokes yet.

I hope the volcano knows what's good for it.

#12 Last time we had a big-ass volcanic eruption, it cooled of the planet for half a decade or so ( Mt Pinatubo, IIRC) due to particulate emissions. I hope no baby ducks or global warmings are hurt by this coming eco-disaster.

#13 I've got a couple of dead trees that I could cut up for firewood, and if I put a teakettle on the fire, the CO2 and water vapour should about fix the problem...
