“ The last time the caldera in Yellowstone blew, the entire North American continent was under about a foot of ash. People who’ve gone diving in Yellowstone Lake say that there is a bulge in the floor that is now about 100 feet high and the whole thing is just sort of pulsing. From different people you get different answers, but it could go in another three to four thousand years or it could go on Thursday. No one knows.”

Seriously… doesn’t this sort of make you want that to happen? Even a little? I secretly harbor hopes of some form of catastrophe happening in my lifetime. I know it’s ridiculous and stupid to think such things, but I can’t help it.
