I'd hate to be the kid given "Eyjafjalajökull" in the spelling bee...  Love this comment:

Lol at the name of the volcano! looks like someone got pissed and just facekeyboarded the name!
"SMASH! ooh... we can use that as a name. prolly!"


;D

Considering all the issues this little volcano caused, can you even imagine what it will be like when Yellowstone goes?  Yikes!  :o

Yeah, they say the pyroclastic flow would devastate Seattle.

Of course, even that would be NOTHING compared to Yellowstone - the Science Channel had a few specials about it.  They estimate that it could kill off 94% of all living species on Earth if it went.  The caldera's crator is something like 40 miles by 60!  :o
