Vleeptron promised you VOLCANOS!!! and here's one of the biggest, nastiest, most costly volcanos in modern times -- AND Elíza (the dóttir of Geir) pronounces it on her ukulele, as well as offering you the best human emotional response to an erupting volcano.

(But most people panic, or scream at the airline attendant because their flight was cancelled.)

Right now Volcán de Colima, also known as Volcán de Fuego, one of the world's historically most violent volcanos, is popping off in southern Mexico. Its frequent eruptions have earned it a place on the "Decade Volcanos" list -- you can expect it to pop off at least once per decade.

I love volcanos. I love erupting volcanos. I love lahars. I love pyroclastic flows.

There. I've said it.

Today's Emergency Evacuation Plan from Naples, Italy is essentially the same Emergency Evacuation Plan they used the last time Vesuvius popped in A.D. 79 (preserving the beautiful porno mosaics of the brothels in Pompeii. Sailors from out-of-town would just point to the mosaic they wanted, and the proprietor would tell them how much that would cost).

I use Jennifer's Language Page to say Hello and Thank You and stuff like that in more than 3000 lingos. But Jennifer doesn't have translations for "FLEE FOR YOUR LIFE!" So if you know how to say FLEE FOR YOUR LIFE! in any Earth language, please Leave A Comment. If everybody around me is screaming something, I'd really like to know what they're screaming.

HEAD FOR HIGH GROUND! in 3000 lingos is also very useful. If you're at the beach, and suddenly the water rushes 1000 meters out to sea AWAY from you ... HEAD FOR HIGH GROUND!

=============

Eyjafjallajökull is a long long name
For such a small glacier of such notorious fame
Eyjafjallajökull has caused quite a stir
So no-one can fly home except maybe the birds

Cancel all your plans and cancel all your flights
Cos an angry exploding mountain is always right
It's always right
It's always right
It's always right

Eyjafjallajökull slept for a hundred and eighty seven years
And the gods awoke and spew ashes into the atmosphere
Eyjafjallajökull teach us a thing or two
Don't mess with mother nature
Someone's in charge and it's definitely not you!

Cancel all your plans and cancel all your flights
Cos an angry exploding mountain is always right
You can panic all you want or you can get on with your life
Eyjafjallajökull has dusted the skies
He's always right
He's always right
He's always right

Cancel all your plans and cancel all your flights
Cos an angry exploding mountain is always right
You can panic all you want or you can get on with your life
Cos Eyjafjallajökull has dusted the skies
He's always right
He's always right
He's always right
