We know the end of the world is scheduled for sometime soon. There are wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, volcanoes, dogs and cats sleeping together, and mass hysteria.

I'm not a volcanologist, but wouldn't you want to get as far away from that as possible?

Most of them could be filed in one category, sophomoric. This is X, so you have to expect it, especially when the headline makes it so easy.

Be careful googling this phenomenon.
People typing 'massive steamy crack' into google today are going to get a surprise.

Movie references came in droves as well.

We had to have a bit of fun today. We certainly are praying for the people of Iceland and hope that everything works out alright for them.
Seeing the power of geologic forces at work is awe-inspiring and somewhat scary if we're being completely honest.
