#1 Funny thing is, Steve, that earthquakes on a regular basis is a precursor to volcanoes. No garuantee though.

#2 Following Irish tradition, Monserrat national holiday is March 17th. Looks like the party started early. More Guiness, please.

#5 I wonder if Al-Qaeda terrorists did some NOOKLEUR thingy under the volcano thus causing the eruption.

#7 A piece of trivia - An eruption by Monsterrat's volcano in the 19th century was one of the most lethal ever recorded. It killed everyone in the capital city with the exception of one person who was held in the city jail.

#8 Correction -the volcano that killed the entire population of a city occured in 1902 on Martinique (which is close by Montserrat), engulfing Saint-Pierre at its base and killing circa 40,000. And curiously occured one day after the Monserrat eruption

#9 There is a large volcano 50k from Teheran, that has not erupted in recorded history. Last major eruption was 10k years ago.
