Nov. 19th mind blowing random thought of the day: John Tyler had more children than any other president in U.S. history. Having had 8 with his first wife and 7 with his second, he was 70 years old when his last child, Pearl, was born.

Nov. 21st mind blowing random thought of the day: The volcanic system beneath Yellowstone in Wyoming holds enough magma to fill the Grand Canyon up to 11 times.

Cor! I knew that the calderra was big. But that’s majorly big. Isn’t it overdue an eruption?

Likely not for thousands of years. It would be giving off warning signs decades before its eruption as well. Last eruption was almost 650,000 years ago.
Thought I’d read it somewhere. Something to do with the periods between eruptions. But I get that it would be showing big signs

Let’s be glad it wont erupt for a long time. The fallout would be cataclysmic. The last eruption covered roughly 5790 square miles with ash. Half the United States and Canada would be toast.
Yeah, and we think we are in a climate change now!

(pssst, 5800 square miles = 43 mile radius…)

Yeah, there was a glitch in the math somewhere there. @DungeonMaster is right about losing half of the US though. Here is a map from USGS showing the ash distribution of the three Yellowstone eruptions, the long valley caldera, and Mount St. Helens for scale.
It’s funny, I actually just watched Dante’s Peak last night for the first time since college. I gotta say, it was a lot more fun to watch when I lived in the Midwest. On a clear day I can see Mt Rainier from a hill near my place and last month I took a road trip down to Mt St Helens. The movie really creeped me out.

Yeah, I think the 5800 number was the size of the area below, pre-eruption.
Looking at the ash map from Mt St Helen’s in 1980 says the total covered area is much bigger, most deep ash concentrated on Washington state.
Amazing how well border control protected Canada…

If you save on car insurance by switching to another company then if you switch each month for about a year your policy will cost about $1.98.

Fact: 9 out of 8 people are terrible at statistics. This would explain the US fertility rate of 1.8 kids per woman of childbearing age.
