Some pretty hilarious people have setup a fake Twitter account for BP public relations and they have some great tweets. Starting with: We regretfully admit that something has happened off of the Gulf Coast. More to come. And soon following with a myriad of other greats and even a BP Cares t-shirt. When you combine that sort of viral response with this Washington Post report it Seems this thing is really catching on fire so to speak:

Amazing video put together of the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, which virtually halted all air travel across Europe, as shown by this other time lapse video, by spewing an ash cloud over the entire continent as shown by this visualization. It’s as if the people of Europe said, “Hey, we want to fly around and do stuff,” and Nature was just like, “Yea, not so much.”

So that was a ridiculously big earthquake.

The earthquake—which so far has resulted in more than 700 dead people— was the equivalent of the explosion of 15.8 gigatons of TNT. That’s 316 Soviet Tsar nuclear bombs—at 50 megatons, the most powerful ever created—dropping at the same time in the same place.

Some of these are just absurd and make me pretty happy that I grew up in the U.S. Check out Vanuatu Land Diving to get an idea of what this article is about.
