Title: World's Largest Volcano Discovered
Post by: LongBlade on September 06, 2013, 09:56:40 AM
It's 1000 miles east of Japan. Underwater, of course.

And - get this - it's as large as the state of New Mexico.

QuoteAn underwater volcano dubbed Tamu Massif was found some 1,000 miles east of Japan, says William Sager, a professor at the University of Houston, who led a team of scientists in the discovery.

The volcano is about the size of the state of New Mexico and is among the largest in the solar system, Sager says.

I gotta wonder how we missed a volcano the size of a state, even if it is underwater.  Did we have the government looking for it or something?

Maybe it has been quietly rising with a magma chamber that will unleash hell.

All part of the Great Old One's Plan.
R'lyeh is rising, slower than expected, but it is rising.

It just occurred to me that Cthulhu and the Flying Spaghetti Monster have quite a bit of visual commonality.

Hmmm...

It's a plot to submerge America. When the volcanic islands of Madeira, and now this Pacific one explode, the tidal waves hit each coast, turning the Rockies into an atoll. Time to dig out XCOM, and find out what's really up.. ;)
