The joys of living in California are rapidly diminishing. We're supposed to have the "big" earthquake within the next 30 years. Our economy has extreme suckage. And of course, we too also have dormant volcanoes. I call home the Shake and Bake State. Geez, I was only kidding...

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> The coolest storm ever! I've always thought it was cool when elements came together to bring destruction, like a flaming tornado or something. But this is way better!

MickyK

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> Any of those environmentalist-types gonna show up at the volcano, holding up signs that read, "NO MORE POLLUTION" and "STOP GLOBAL WARMING"??? Didn't think so.

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> Why does looking at this image give me the urge to harness the power of Dianetics?

HomoSapiensRex

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> All this talk of Zeus and Dark Lords etc is right on the money. You just know that if this had happened a few thousand years ago it would be enshrined in regional folklore as the tale of the war between the local lighting god and the earth divinty.
And Braak, just so you know, you are my new Lord and Master. What wouldst thou have of me?

I did some google searches and checked Nat Geo but no luck...

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> I'd like to place an order with your mom for a six-armed straight jacket, something in a carbon/silver/virgin wool (from real virgins, please) fiber blend would be nice. Any color will do, as long as it's black.

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> @braak: And that, ladies and gentlemen and others, is why Braak has a star!

Annalee Newitz

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> @Jeff-Minor: Well, mostly just scarves. The scarf is the easiest thing to knit.

My mom can knit anything; I once saw her knit a two-stroke combustion engine.

braak

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> You knit what? If you say Hello Kitty tea cozies I'm not talking to you any more (that'll show you!). I'd like to read some of your stuff.

Jeff-Minor

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> @Jeff-Minor: I am like Sufjan Stevens, in that I can also knit.

And I do write some sci-fi, sometimes.

Jeff-Minor

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> @braak: sweeeet.
As if a volcano isn't enough it had to pull out the lightning. What's next, jets of acid? A rain of anvils soaked in kerosene? Swarms of leprous space monkeys dressed in barbed wire!?
hmmm... works a tad slow right now. Mebbe I'll do a little P-shop myself.

A little global cooling...

Of course now the "anti-global warming" people will have more cool weather to point at and say.. "see no wamring"

Git Em SteveDave seeks Lego build buddy. How about you?

Oh yes. We'd get along like ducks 'n dynomite. ;)

Aww, see, I thought you were some sort of creepy-fast Photoshop ninja.
You can still be my hero, though. Keep in mind, most of my heroes are usually drunk sociopaths or stark, raving lunatics...

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> @braak: Badass!

And why should I bother worrying about the greenhouse effect when mother nature is busy belching up toxic tonnage? Mother nature, just shut up already!

Jeff-Minor

]]> <![CDATA[When Volcanoes Spew Lightning]]> Looks like that scene from the Matrix Revolutions, when the giant squiddy-bomb pooping thing came out of the clouds.

But all kidding aside to chime in with the posters above, that is Seriously AWESOME!

Kudos to the photographer for that shot.
