Yellowstone’s ancient volcanic floor has been rising since mid-2004 because a blob of molten rock the size of Los Angeles infiltrated the system 6 miles beneath the surface, scientists say, but there is no risk of an eruption.

Yellowstone National Park is the site of North America's largest volcanic field, which is produced by a hotspot, or gigantic plume of hot, molten rock, that begins at least 400 miles (643 kilometers) beneath Earth's surface and rises to 30 miles (48 kilometers) underground, where it widens to about 300 miles across.

8O When that mother lets go it's gonna be a helluva bang.

Maybe a few years of night.

Hey, let's go get drunk!!!
It won't bang. Volcanoes that go bang are coastal subductions with water soaked sea floor basalt, Jellystone is granitic pluton that is bone dry.

How about a big fatty? I can't drink any longer. I get nasty reactions to tannins which is in everything but wodka and as of last month even wodka is off the list because I'm now on warfarin for the rest of my life.

Try sassafras root or burdock root. They will thin out your blood just fine. Why take rat poison?

petros my wife was on that stuff for years there are two other products out there now
much better and you don't even need to go for those blood tests anymore, its a different
world. the medications are not natural or health food store stuff they are prescription drugs
but much more effective and less harmful. In Canada its called Pradax and it works great.
As for the volcano and the end of the world we are all waiting if it comes on time I won't
have to learn to shop on line.
It might also come sooner. The Christians are speaking of the end time and they won't
like being upstaged on December 22ND by some pagan gods of Central America.
