Whatsamatter? You never saw The Breakfast Club? Specifically the scene where Claire’s viriginity is discussed?
Is this because God still hates America for all the fags?
At least it distracts people from making fun of astronomers for a bit. Uranus jokes, anybody? (This is rhetorical. Please don’t share any Uranus jokes. I’ve heard them) “Big Bang” has been known to cause some snickering in high school science classes, too…
This article likewise says the scientists haven’t raised the threat level at Yellowstone. The signs it says to watch out for are:
No, that’s a common misunderstanding. The truth is that God hates figs.
Do note that San Francisco and Greenwich Village are outside the blast radius.
Don’t know why, but it makes me a tad nervous to think that I am currently reading Simon Winchester’s book on the 1906 SF earthquake.
I guess it could be worse - could be his book on Krakatoa! 
That book mentions the Yellowstone supervolcano, actually.
At the end of the book, he goes to Yellowstone and remarks on how geological activity at Yellowstone sometimes changes after a large earthquake in Alaska or California. He speculates that it’s possible that a large earthquake on the west coast could set off the Yellowstone supervolcano
Isn’t that what the security guy at the airport said on Sept 11th. “Get real no one can fly a plane into a building”
“…And in today’s economic news, the Dow Jones average dropped from seven goats and three pigs to seven goats, two pigs, and a steel fishhook, a decline of almost 3%.”
If it blows, I hope it does so before January 20th, otherwise the Republicans will blame it on Obama and the Democrats.

Jeremiah 24:2 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
24:3 Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
Sounds like it would be an awesome thing to witness- from the International Space Station!
Great work, Shagnasty. Keep it up and maybe you can reclaim the title Best of the Worst, that the SDMB should be keeping.
I asked, and the reply was that it’s on the Divine To-Do list, right after “Resolve Strife regarding Jerusalem.” This’ll only take a minute…
“Magnum lava. For the volcano who needs something extra.”
Until the meaning of the explosion finally settled in.
Well, they *do *spend most of their time huffing sulphur fumes.
Can’t really blame the scientific community rolling its eyes when Mr. LiveLavaLamp goes “Maaaaaan that eruption was so… super ! Like… it’s a super volcano maaaan !.. Who’s hungry ?!”
Yes, yes, yes and tomorrow we shall go see puppies.
Best two last laughs of 2008.
Anne Neville, I think money could be made from anthropology/paleogeology/other similar types of geek via a T-shirt that says “My ancestors survived Toba and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”.
Just be sure you properly route it through the deflector dish, or else there’ll be a build up on the Bussard Collectors.
