It'd be cool. We'd all be driving around in stolen pickup trucks, raiding supermarkets for food, there'd be beautiful women just waiting to fall in love with us on the road and whatnot. Do you not watch the movies?

Educate yourself my friend, it's coming!
Personally speaking i'm more prepared for the zombie apocalypse, but i reckon i'd handle a super volcano should the need arise.

Scientists need to stop f*cking around with it all before we all get killed!

How are scientists to blame for a volcano erupting? Are they poking it with a big stick or something?

They are pegging blocks of science into it!

hal9000 · 25-01-2011 11:46AM

OMG!! what if they put the Hadron Collider and all those north & south pole magnets in a volcano would that like amplify the splosion a bajillion times or something!

Time to get some volcano insurance

It will only explode when Woody Harrelson triggers it off with some OTT acting.

i'm more worried about the sugar-loaf - ya gots to think local people

Duggy747 · 25-01-2011 01:08PM

Jeez, relax people! Just get Pierce Brosnan to have a look at the volcano and if it erupts get Tommy Lee Jones to sort out how to stop it.

I would reply with some equally eloquent retort, but unfortunately, my vocabulary isn't quite as extensive as yours, and for that I am deeply apologetic good sir.

Essentially humanity is screwed, we face threats from everywhere most of the time and cant seem to get our collective act together. Hopefully we can survive long enough to get the hell off this rock.

And I believe we did just that in the past. A select few, 'Dr Strangeglove' style went into orbit for a hundred years and their offspring repopulated the earth.

I believe that the UFO is possibly ours, but since we last used them, we've forgotten and not reached the required level of technology in the prevailing time frame. I'd blame religion for this, keeping people in fear and ignorance so they'd believe in invisible friends.

Our time is up, we've failed, natural selection prevails again and it's sad to think we probably had a chance. Ultimately the long term success of our species relies on us leaving this rock and living in space independently.

uuuumm, Yellowstone volcano is a UFO now??

No, don't think that's what I said. Say 639,000 years ago on the eve of the last Yellowstone eruption we got into our space craft and left the Earth to wait out the damage.

Next day, as predicted, the volcano blows up, killing almost everything on the planet in the following few months.

The Earth would be uninhabitable for a period of time. Afterwards we come back, but maybe not all of us and our craft are still flying around trying to rescue [abduct] us. Etc, Etc...

I've often thought of this. Not sure about what would happen given the chance, but I think I'd like to live until 60, then taken on a trip demonstrating how our universe came about, how everything started. That's be something to look forward to.

All ye non believers will be sorry.... it's absolutely true, because I read it in the daily mail.

So we should all sit here for the next 5 billion years and not try to venture beyond our planet because you're pissed off the Irish are leaving Ireland in 2010?

Leaving Earth in the next few hundred years is the only way to go, but I guess some people can only think about what happens in the next few months. I love your attitude, sure we'll never get beyond our current technology level and things should NEVER change!

Tar.Aldarion · 25-01-2011 07:09PM

fecking super volcanoes, think they are so great. I cant imagine the world ever recovering from that. there are over 40 of these world wide and the last time this one erupted was 640000 years ago, even though it is due to erupt every 600000 years, we're ****ed (:
the global temperature would lower by tens of degrees but the starvation will probbaly finish everybody off. happy tuesday!

Bye Bye Yellowstone
