First, we have the return of a variant of Spanish Influenza (Swine Flu), and now we have reports of a spike in volcanic activity at Anak Krakatau, which in Indonesian, means “son of Krakatoa,” the small volcanic island that is the the volcano that emerged from the explosion of Krakatoa.

It’s kind of creepy when you think about it, stock market crash, Spanish Influenza, and now this.

What catastrophe is due to revisit us again? The Black Death? The 100 Years War? The Partridge Family?
