Great article – sorry I missed it. It added some data to my existing knowledge of the event.

The comments – glad I missed some of them.

Yes, you pee-brain cocoabongo, Britain is a country with inhabitants wit yellow teeth and retarded accents.

Oops. I read the title of the page and the article, and I was expecting the comments to reflect the content of the article… sorry, my bad. I should have expected that someone would try to include the media or politics. I guess I’m just going blind through my optimism…”[/quote]

Mention Rush and they come out of the woodwork. I agree. Discuss the topic…

His experiments with electricity were in 1752, and the man died in 1790. It’s doubtful that he would be blamed for something he did four decades earlier, or that anyone would remember or care.

And if it erupts It will bring another “year without a summer” except… instead of one year it would be ten years… THAT IS SCARY RIGHT THERE…

I agree with rp2. More volcano talk, please. :-)

This event is believed to have nearly wiped out the human race. Estimates run from a few thousand to perhaps a hundred thousand people made it through the five year-long winter.
