Mt. St. Helens Magma Reaches Surface
daquake writes "Volcanic rock has flowed to the surface of Mount St. Helens' crater, creating a new lava dome after weeks of seismic activity, the bulge had risen at least 330 feet since scientists noticed it September 30. Geologists said there is still a chance of explosive ash eruptions from the 8,364-foot mountain, and the immediate area around the volcano remained closed."
Who all made bets with me on that poll last week?
For days on end the headlines were "Mt. Helens Blows More Steam", "Still steaming", "Helens still smoking".
/. cliche :)
How truly appropriate is the "Nothing to see here, move along..."
there is still a chance of explosive ash eruptions
uh this is a lie. ash died a long time ago. nowadays, people use zsh, bash, or csh.
Uh oh... the image is black. Perhaps something's wrong with the camera?
;)
Oh, it's night. Never mind.
Karma: Segmentation fault (tried to dereference a null post)
Welcome to my volcanic lair Austin Powers! Mwahahahahaha!
It's surrounded by liquid hot magma.
I wonder how the liberals will blame this on Bush.
Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!
...and that's all there is to it.
as a resident of a "large" unnamed metropolis in close proximity, It is my honor to give my life to the Linux cause, holding my place in secret and not fleeing; in case of alerting the Microsoft Suburbs. We true geeks of Seattle huddle by the glow of our computer screens and share one last minute of Slashdot as we await the inevitable flow of monopoly ending ash.
Let it be said that we went down, without fear as we hastily tried to upload our porn collections to a separate, safer place, so that our lives, and porn collecting will not have been in vain.
This is Seattle,

My god, you're right. Just link everything to Google! In fact, why even have any other websites at all? Let's just have Google!
You had me at "dicks fuck assholes".
Even after they pay me the money, I'm still going to melt all the cities of the world with hot magma.

I bet that is the first time anyone has ever used the words 'Saint', 'tease' and 'blow' in a sentance.
Quick, someone install a Linux powered KaZaA server in the caldera (not "Caldera", caldera... you know, the hole at the top of the volcano).
SCO and RIAA problems... solved.
I, for one, welcome our new molten magma, uh, underlords!
Maybe this dome is really full of little communists with parachutes. They are yelling, screwing, and multiplying in there. Pretty soon they'll erupt and conquer Seattle.
I believe it is the prequel to ash.

Lava
My body's burnin' like a lava from a Mauna Loa
My heart's crackin' like a Krakatoa
Krakatoa, east of Java, molten bodies, fiery lava
Fire, fire, burnin' bright
Turn on your love lava
Turn on your lava light
Fire, oh volcano, over you
Don't let your lava love turn to stone
Keep it burnin'
Keep it burnin' here at home
Oooo Hot Lava
Oooo Hot Lava
Mongrel News all the news that fits and froths
Bourne Again eruptions only occur in the Deep South.
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
Or we can have a suggestive volcano-related song from Chef. Ooh, baby, every time we kiss, hot lava Every time that we make love, thats's lava, hot lava Its lava so hot it makes me sweat, And lava so warm and red and wet, Mountain is rumbling, must find a safer place Soon the wrath of Pele, will fall upon your face Great nectar of the gods, spews rock from Pinatubo Mix with a woman's sweat, makes the lava we know! Ooh, baby, every time we kiss, hot lava Every time that we make love, that's lava, hot lava Its lava so hot it makes me sweat, Lava so warm and red and wet Burning through the forest, red, red hot lava flow rolls down the island's body, and into the ocean below When it meets the cool cool water, these are big flows of a living rich Magma flowing into a sepicrious envronment produces pillar lava Argisotic pressure of sea water tends to inhabit the vestal size of the basalt, Ooh, baby, every time we kiss, hot lava Every time that we make love, there's lava, hot lava Lava so hot it makes me sweat, Lava so warm and red and wet And after the eruption, we lay dormant for a while Let's just hold each other and talk, For now, Pele sleeps Ooh, baby, every time we kiss, hot lava Every time that we make love baby, hot lava Lava so hot it makes me sweat, Lava so warm and red and wet Ooh, baby, every time we kiss, hot lava Every time that we make love there's lava, hot lava Lava so hot it makes me sweat, Lava so warm it makes me sweat
Pretty simple: Tommy Lee Jones will dynamite a high rise conveniently located near the path of the flow and divert the lava into the Pacific.
Don't you watch any movies? This is done all the time.
This is my post. There are many others like it. If you don't like what you read here, go try one of the others.
"I bet that is the first time anyone has ever used the words 'Saint', 'tease' and 'blow' in a sentance."
Actually.. no. It's funny what you see when you mass download a bunch of.. uh... research material.
"Derp de derp."
The Senate voted against it 99-1. No one supported it.
That statement is obviously self contradictory.
Don't label something "offtopic" unless you know the topic well enough to tell what's on topic.
Hey Bill!
:)
Let me tell you of this new place where you can move Microsoft HQ to... oh wait
Online backup with Mozy, sounds like Ozzie, but more!
Yeah, now we know why the volcano is oozing hot magma. The webcam is getting a /.-ing. Thanks. Goddamn it -- you're gonna slashdot Washington off the map!
Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering KABOOM!
Flash!
After weeks of seismic activity, Mt. St Helens shot off its lava dome that had been building for 20 years.
The solid 5000 ton piece of rock shot off like a cannonball out of the crater of the volcano.
It traveled 100 miles north in a perfect parabola. Then it smashed into the main administrative center of Microsoft corporation outside Redmond.
"All our source code and back-ups were destroyed", said a Microsoft spokescreature. "We'll have to start all over from MS-DOS 6.2 again".
"It's as if Mother Nature was gunning for us and scored a big, fat bulls-eye on her first shot", said VP Steve Ballmer. Mr. Ballmer was directly in the main inpact center when the giant rock hit but he suffered no apparent damage. "No force of nature would ever dare fuck with me!", said Mr. Ballmer. He then announced that in light of the loss of all the source code and support network, there would be 3% reduction in the list price of all current Windows versions selling at full retail.
It's nice to see that graduates from the Bob Saget School of Comedy are finding time to expand on their art form.
"Derp de derp."
"I'm sure I've read this somewhere before. And for once it isn't a previous slashdot article.
.. by... uh...
If you're going to copy verbatim, credit your source.",
What's your name?
"Derp de derp."
Well sunday May 18, 1980 Was my sister's 13th birthday and I was 10. We lived in Staten Island, New York. When I we learned the news of MT ST Helen's eruputing, I said in ten year old wisdom I'm never moving near there. Where do I live now 24 years later? Yup NW Oregon...in a little town called Dayton. (shakes fist in air) DAMM YOU KARMA GOD'S... But we're to far away to be affected...My 3 year thinks it's cool, every afternoon he goes out with his binoculars to see the volcano. We can't see it, but he has a great imagination....
__________ Leave me alone I'm compiling a RPG II program on my S/36...Thanks to metamucil I'm a Regular Meta Moderator
And Poland. You forgot Poland.
I work my way up to it. Just the way I worked my way up to your mom. She asked "What would My Local Southern Baptist Priest Do", and I showed her. She seemed to like it.
I think it's very irresponsible reporting on what is, in effect, a large bomb in the heart of America. Using these news articles it would be perfectly possible for me, and any evil muslim terrorists, to find my way to this device and maybe find a way of using it in a terrorist atrocity.
./'s would join me and petition the US government to "For gods sake keep the location of these massively dangerous feature of the landscape out of the hands of terrorists and their locations secret". All scientific research on these evil weapons of terror should cease immediately and recognition of Mt St Helens as a Volcano should immeditely result in lengthy prison sentence in some off shore detention facility.
I would hope all
LIQUID HOT MAGMA?
"The bigger concern is Tacoma - it's pretty much going to be flattened if the volcano goes and the glacier melt ends up following the valleys as expected."
You say that like that's a bad thing.
