Beautiful Park or Cradle of Death?
My wife and I love the outdoors and hiking is one of our favorite pastimes. There’s just something about being surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. It’s pristine, peaceful, and you can go to the bathroom anywhere you want. But it isn’t without its dangers.
You’ve probably heard stories of bear and mountain lion attacks. And most of you know that rattlesnake bites can be deadly. Furthermore the woods are full of deadly spiders, overeager hunters, and difficult terrain that can snap an ankle like a twig. In fact you’d have to have a death wish to step into the wilderness.
Hikers at Yellowstone National Park face all these dangers and one other: the possible eruption of one of the largest volcanoes on earth. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11622376/
Avid Discovery Channel viewers know that much of Yellowstone is a caldera – a giant depression caused by past volcanic eruptions. Recent news shows that the caldera is rising slightly. The earth’s very crust cracks, long-dormant geysers now erupt with great ferocity, and the grizzly bears are pouring a foundation for what appears to be a bomb shelter. Could these be nature’s warning signs of an impending eruption?
Yellowstone last erupted about 640,000 years ago, spewing 240 cubic miles of material. If it explodes again this super-volcano would destroy life for hundreds of miles around and coat the entire country in ash. We need to be prepared. I urge you to run to Blockbuster and rent the riveting volcano documentary called “Dante’s Peak”. It’s a fairly spot-on view of what could happen and it stars James Bond and that lady from The Terminator.
Scientists are saying that we shouldn’t panic just yet, but visitors need to be careful. Recently some footpaths have been closed because the ground temperatures were close to boiling and fumaroles – holes venting hot smoke and gases – are popping up all over where the caldera is rising.
Now anyone who’s watched any natural disaster movie knows that most scientists are always wrong when they say don’t panic. What we need to do is look for that one scientist who says something like “We need to evacuate the park now!! You don’t understand! It’s going to blow! Why won’t you listen?!!”
Well I found her. Her name is Dee Finney. http://www.earthmountainview.com/yellowstone/yellowstone.htm
Dee says the great eruption will happen within the next couple months and usher in an apocalyptic time of Biblical proportions. Now this sounds exactly like what James Bond said in Dante’s Peak, so I’m more than concerned. Fortunately I still have my bomb shelter from when the Internet said that the new wave of 17-year cicadas were going to be vampiric and heavily intoxicated.
I can only encourage you to live life the way you always wanted to. It won’t be long now. Yellowstone is going to pop and it’s going to be raining ash and ravenous grizzly bears all over the United States. Grizzly bears are tough y’all. And even if I’m wrong about this, we’re still only 16 years away from a plague of erratically swarming vampiric cicadas. Either way, now is the time to tell that special someone you love them and stockpile on toilet tissue.

I like how, in the link to Dee's website, there's a mention of a "proven psychic" but no proof that he's a proven psychic.
Then, the Bible code crap...please! If the world's gonna end, it's gonna end. But these people offer no hope or helpful information except that we're all gonna die sometime this year (which people have been saying at least every year since 2000).
Even the MSNBC article doesn't mention how it is that the entire country will be covered in ash from the eruption.
Just a few thoughts.
