National Geographic

Chile's Puyehue volcano erupted last summer for the first time in over fifty years.

National Geographic published a photo essay with some spectacular shots of volcanic lightning, something we had never even heard of.

Not to mention the obligatory shot of the Argentine front end loader cleaning up volcanic ash some number of feet deep, some number of miles away.

Thanks to Evan J. who evidently has even more time on his hands than we do, for sending us the link.

Speaking of seven billion souls, four and a half billion of which the Illuminati allegedly are seeking to remove from the planet.

Here is a beautifully done series of interactives and stories from National Geographic on Earth's soon to be realized milestone of a world population totalling seven billion people.

That is of course unless the alleged Illuminati get their alleged way.

Thanks to Angie for this one.

As always, click on the photo below to link up to this very well done piece.
