WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON TO NUKE PYONGYANG:

Villarica, a 9,000 foot volcano in Chile's Central Valley, erupted around 3 a.m. Tuesday, spewing smoke and molten rock and prompting the Chile's National Emergency Office to order thousands to evacuate, according to the Associated Press. About 3,500 people have been evacuated so far, including tourists, according to published reports.

The material ejected by the volcano does more than just imperil aircraft and frighten spectators; in sufficient quantities, tiny particles injected into the stratosphere by an eruption can produce a global cooling effect that persists for years.
