Maybe the asteroid I'm rooting for can hit the super volcano. That would be cool. Now I want to play a post apocalypse RPG.

In case anyone doesn't read the article, the headline is dramatically misleading. They aren't saying the volcano may erupt in the next few decades. They're saying it can prepare faster than previously thought, needing decades instead of centuries for the process.  ::)
