http://www.sott.net/articles/show/23977 ... -to-erupt-
A sleeping super-volcano in Germany is showing worrying signs of waking up.
It's lurking just 390 miles away underneath the tranquil Laacher See lake near Bonn and is capable of ejecting billions of tons of magma.
This monster erupts every 10 to 12,000 years and last went off 12,900 years ago, so it could blow at any time.

Could happen in one day or one hundred years really no way of knowing.
either way we should definitely be hysterical/taking as much coke and banging as many hookers as possible just in case we all die.

don"t believe that shit it will erupt one day but tbh i think that can take some years, the media is just trying to scare us again.
It's about dropping a track at the wrong speed, and it sounding better than the real thing.

the article Alphacat posted was actually taken straight from the Mail, it says so at the top.
pretty sensationalist but interesting nonetheless

But the last time it erupted it only covered 659 square miles! How does that even allow it to be counted as a supervolcano?
