Mount Etna Erupting?
Is there a VIX index of climatic and/or geologic activity? Cause the last few weeks have been off the charts. Breaking News shares pictures showing that the Etna volcano has erupted (or at least is projectiling magma far more potently than it traditionally does in its dormant state). As of now, it is unclear if millions of birds, crabs, or fish have fallen out of the sky surrounding Vesuvius. Conveniently this occurs hours after we presented Nigel Farage's rather "glass half emptyish" outlook on Italy's prospects.
Lava flow:
We will bring other photos and video once we find them. In the meantime readers can keep track of the volcano at the Istitutonazionale di geofisica e vulcanologia .

Maybe Gore can help us locate that lockbox he has full of SS trust funds . . . .
Al Gore is the Jimmy Swaggart of the climate change world.

Fear sells
want to stop the solar flares that are influencing the climate? try a series of supersized solar unbrellas. and to make them even better, tie them in to the energy grid. (perhaps I just solved the unemployment problem, for a few years)
Can please someone tax Mt. Etna for the megatons of CO2 it has just released last night.
Al Gore, another sleezy slimeball criminial crook
Is this a nothing eruption like 2008, or a big one like 1669?
Perhaps they need to consider a name change- from ETNA to BEnron Bernank. Both are nothing but hot gases and are ready to blow... and both have the potential to cause the entire world to collapse. Oh the parallels to be drawn are astonishing!
magma.
edit: Ok, new picture added. Hot, hot magma flowing down sides. The mountain is angry. Get on your vespa and GTFO Dodge.
Putt putt putt putt, Caio! SCREAM! Put Put put put. Caio!
cracked me up, reminds me of Eddie Lizard comedy.
GTFO of Dodge and BTFD, IMHO.
YMMV
Why is the cloud (on the right) glowing?
Rusty, your avatar looks like you are reporting from on-the-scene.
"We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert ..."
-- Dr. Gonzo
"Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a main era... The kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something, maybe not, in the long run. But no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time in the world. Whatever it meant. There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back."
-- Hunter S. Thompson
True Hunter story; One summer he was on the security staff at Esalen (yes, security) and was known to ride his Triumph along Highway 1 at all sorts of odd hours (whateverthefuck those are) of the night whilst discharging firearms.
Ah, the serene majesty of Big Sur....
"Did you see what GOOOOD just did to us man? God didn't do that to us, you did. You're a fucking narcotics agent!"

It's not a cloud Rusty, it's a imperial star destroyer.
ah yes, imperial star destroyer - NOT, they are triangularly shaped.
Just the Nav lights on Al Gore's Gulfstream650 reflecting off the clouds, though Tarpley's site claims it's the afterburners on China's new stealth fighter after it fired a HAARP-carrying missile at Mt. Etna.
Obama's hot air venting.
Did Harry just take a crap in Naples?
Maybe the mayan calendar was a little off ...
Doesn't that volcano contantly spew shit just like geihtner.
I saw a post from harrywanger on this thread that vanished entirely.
ZH- what are you up to?
Clean up the mess.
hmmmm
Perhaps he's acting in response to a couple of comments at other blogs who think that ZH posers are "not what they used to be".
Things get queued in multiuser environments and sometimes 2 things are supposed to happen at once and the server get's bonkers and rolls backwards in the queue under load. He probably got off into a tangetial queue bin of the time space continuum that got dumped due to timers.
It isn't all that uncommon for posts to disappear. If a post gets 30 junks then it is pulled, also as said above the server load on this site sometimes has some odd effects. I once replied to a person only to find that the post that I had replied to go moved to a different article.
The only people that I know of that have been banned on this site worked very hard to get that way. Even if Harry is disliked, he is at least civil, and is unlikely to be banned.
I'm tellin' you, it's the burritos!
Wait a minute. Didn't anybody tell you to stay FAR AWAY from Italian Burritos?
TD,
Are you sure this isn't a view of Mordor?
I don't see 33 Liberty in the pics... ergo, not Mordor.

Reuters-
Appeasing the Mayan Gods to not shutter all life on earth before Dec. 21, 2012, 17 hundred assorted employees of the World Bank, IMF and ECB were sacrificed to the Lava Gods on Mt. Etna early on Thursday morning. Prime Minister Berlusconi was reportedly so enraged at being interrupted during his weekly innocent Bam Bam with Col. Qaddafi that he authorized a second round of flaming devotions be presided over by the Pope during the ensuing 90 day New Devalued Lira Denominated 90 Second Bill auction, spaghetti drawing and Shroud of Turin Giveaway to be held at Momma Excuzzi's Sicilian Taverna's Grand Opening at the foot of Michelangelo's Pieta later the same morning.
God bless America, there you have it folks, Blood sacrifices, Virgins, Shroud of Vagina, Spaghetti, Qaddafi, Lava, Red Hots, Wine, Olive oil, God -- it's good to be ALIVE
-- knuckles ftw
Lava...hot lava!
Drill Baby! Drill!!
More Bulls Eye's!!! on Volcano's! Palin, get your gun out! can she see europe from her house too?
Russia is (nominally) part of Europe. Though Sarah can see the part over Asia.
I'm talkin straight to ya.

I like Kamkatcha http://www.flickr.com/photos/uhmuseum/sets/72157621966927074/ great looking place and lots of action.. about Palin's speed.
The Volcano Gods are demanding virgin sacrifice. Ain't none left. We're screwed. Well, we were screwed and that make us more screwed.
What would happen if we threw in HarryWanger, Spalding or the newest troll, onlymyopinion?
The flow would turn to sour skittles.
That might set off Vesuvius, Stromboli and the rest of the Calabrian arc

Yes, we missed our chance to throw trolls and banksters into the Icelandic volcano of unpronounceable name.
the Gods demand a sacrifice of bankers and politicians
I can see Ashton Kutcher running around the base of that mountain!
Yeah, and he'll probably be trying to convince some poor fool to climb up the side in a Spiderman costume while the cameras roll.
Clearly this is the Italian version of a late December snowstorm.
"We had to default! Be-because of the volcano! Yeah, that's the ticket!"
A medium one. A small ice age coming due to too much volcano ash in the air (sunlight blocked). In winter ash flows at lower altitude (vs flows at higher altitude in summer) where birds could inhaled and became sick, and some even became disoriented if such ash has maganetic. It's my theory though my study is not in Geo.
Romanian bird death mystery solved.
Birds 'died from binge drinking'Bullshit!
I call complete and total Bullshit!
Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!
Like the fucking fish that died off the Atlantic Coast.
Hypothermia.
Bullshit!
Fish are fucking cold blooded!
Bullshit!
Aaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggraahhhhhhh!
i heard the fish drowned to death.
Keep with the facts: The birds died because the ate to much birdseed when they flew over America. They all got a indigestion and died of a hart attack.

This is bullish for "Run the fuck away!".
Looks like it's about to bust some ropes all over Sicilia.

Back up the dump truck and fill 'er up w/ banksters! May not get another opportunity for a while!
Congress and the Senate too... dont stop at wall street and the hill, hit K st. as well...
Sounds like we're going to need more trucks...
No, we need more virgins.
Muuaaahahahahaaa, yeez pissant mooorre VIRGINS HAHAAAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA AHAHHHHHHHAHAAA - - and 1 million dollars.
Virgins are like new shoes.
Your dick/feet don't feel comfortable when you fuck/run
I like 5 year old running shoes that already have a lot of miles and fit like they should ;)
You are talking about human virgins, right?
Hey, I don't know whats in vogue (besides EU pols) in Belgium.....
No harm intended...just poking at you because you do not seem to appreciate the non-monetary riches available to you for harvesting. A little like peeps ignoring gold at $250 an ounce in 2001.
Crowd chants:
"Feed the Bernank to the Mongibello. Feed the Bernank to the Mongibello."
Etna promptly throws up all over Catania and the unsuspecting suburbs.
Give it an hour or two...shit... it is a volcano

Sacrifice Bobby Jindal to it!
2012!!! Where's Roland Emmerich or Michael Bay when you need 'em?
Got floods? check
Got mass animal die-off? check
Got erupting volcanos? check
what are the chances of a full house occuring?
Etna is not dangerous. It is not prone to pyroclastic explosions. Is a slow flow volcano, and the magma usally just flows in the desert Valle del Bove and simply cools off. It is Vesuvio that can be extremely dangerous. Vesuvio buried Pompei with a pyroclastic blast. Etna usually gives very spectacular night views and photo-ops chances, but nothing else.
Awwwwwww.........
Sure. Just get a bit closer to it...there you go...closer...BAM! That's how it gets you
way to spoil it for every doomer here on ZH, douchebag!
Krugman will tell us what it all means in tomorrows NYT
Candidate!
Candidate, candidate, candidate.......
Get 'em whiles'is hot, hurrayh, hurrayh, hurayh
Looks like it cooled down, per the webcams on the site you reference. According to report, seems like this goes on now and again lately.
http://www.volcano.si.edu/reports/usgs/#etna
Some other stuff happening with volcanoes. Mostly in Indonesia and on Kamchatka. Possibly some activity soon in Columbia? And yes, a world guage of activity, or even a universal source for data would be nice.

Mount Etna demands to be fed Claudio Costamagna and Jean Claude Trichet.
So far, its a non-event.

Yawn... "Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and is in an almost constant state of activity."
Either way it's bullish for stocks.
I'm going long Nero D'Avola futures.
Uh. Why can't I find any info on this in the MSM?
How crappy can you be MSM? Can't you pull your head out of your

Sooooooooooooo Fucking Italian!
Linked to the page.
Great balls of one satellite page photo from like 1954 or something, and when I clicked on the box that says...
"Satellite Image of Italy"
a page comes up that says...
"Page not available on this server"
Wonder how many Italians probably are employed full time to make sure this whole thing works seamlessly? All I wanna see is one single fucking city, or how about even a simple bocci court being devowered in molten lava and can't even get a God-damned picture!
And they say Ireland's got a problem? We ain't seen nothing yet! Italy'll default and nobody there'll even notice it.
The guy who makes the pope hats will have to give up hookers. They'll NOTICE!!!

Etna is a constant erupting volcano. It's not a worry.
And even a big eruption would only be bad for the middle east and would at max be able to kill a few thousand.
So, let's all relax, it's just something we don't need to give a rats ass about.
It is happening in Europe, BUT I AM SAFE!! NOBODY NEEDS TO WORRY!!
