    Bill Bryson has a wonderful chapter on the Yellowstone Caldera, in his book " A short history of nearly everything" It seems that it is due to go off around now give or take 50 million years. When it blew last time, it spewed 16 feet of ash at distance of up to 3000 miles away.

    In 2000 the Women's Institute in Britain gave Tony Blair the slow hand clap to demonstrate their contempt.

    If you live in a 600 miles radius of Yellowstone national park in the USA i would seriously have a back up plan should yellowstone erupt as per the recent concerns aired on Fox and other networks...

    Indeed. Is YellowStone park not the location of an ancient (and I presume totally extinct) super Volcano? And yes I know, Yogi Bear too. I remember a documentry a while back about it that claimed there was also one in Siberia. Nasty things they were too. If that went up you best get your holiday in in Ireland too, because there will be bugger all left to see of our little corner of the world either.
