Who'd think it be cool if that thing blew a little steam off and brought a new generation around the corner, shit is boring, WWIII ain't happening, so we will sit in this lets say well, what era are we in ''actually'' not scientificly.
I give the supervolcano a GO.

Tell me a little more about this black sea problem, I was thinking in going on vocation, maybe I can set the apocalypse off, because technically I'm not supposed to be alive.

Well, through the funny feeling I get at my feet as if current is flowing and at the hands too but its harder to manage, I believe I'll be something like Magneto, besides these nerve shoks I get all over my body aren't normal.

I think I could walk over the black see, and than split that shit up.

the black sea is actually a lake. a really big lake, of course, like lake baikal, but a lake.
carbon dioxide forms at the bottom of lakes as a byproduct of the decomposition process of plant and animal matter that settles at the bottom of them.
in the case of very large lakes, such as the black sea and lake baikal, the carbon dioxide cannot recycle to the surface and escape into the air because the lake is just too damn deep.
so these lakes have become devoid of oxygen and highly acidic, "unable to suport any life beyond the simplest bacteria."
in 1986, lake nyos, a lake with anoxic depths in eastern africa experienced "turnover" which basically means that the strata of the lake reversed themselves.
it's basically a carbon dioxide flood, because co2 is much heavier than air. the gas comes rushing out of the lake at freight train speeds, flattening vegetation and uprooting trees. 'every creatue at ground level for distances of up to fifteen miles died.'
and that was a pretty small lake, comparatively speaking.
if the black sea were to experience turnover, it would cause the greatest natural cataclysm since the last ice age.
both the usa and russia are constantly monitoring the strata of the black sea in a vain attempt to predict if and when this phenomenon might occur. but it doesn't matter. your first lungful of co2 smells like rotten eggs and you don't live long enough to have a second.

Ahah! that CO2 one is great. The Big Burp! I wanna go on vocation too!

bah.
On September 11th 2001 everybody was singing the end and they were all fucking wrong.If only it were so dramatic as mass floods of stale farts. Chances are we'll just be chipped away at by virus and tsunamis and war and our kids will just kill themselves when they see what a mess we've made and they see how much of a mistake "god" made by putting us here in the first place.
