Indonesian volcano erupts blue lava
-
I saw this go by on my Facebook Feed from IFL Science. A volcano in Indonesia appears to be erupting blue lava, because the lava is flowing over sulfur deposits.
This creates a gorgeous but eerie blue color, as when sulfur burns at 600 degrees C, it produces blue flames.

That is so cool looking.
-
That's awesome, I wish that we had some of those around here to go see.
-
That is wildly awesome.
-
Yes, I'd love to see this in person, although I'm pretty excited that we may get to see regular old red / orange lava in person! I had always wanted to visit an active volcano. So freaking cool.
-
I love nature and awe inspiring things such as volcanoes of any color... but am I not the only person whose first thought was "I wonder who pushed the smurfs in?"
-
@dafyre Umm... yeah that thought had not occurred to me. Perhaps because I loved the Smurfs growing up, and wouldn't naturally picture them being murdered by lava.

Smurfcano

Not to be confused it's the upcoming movie Smurfnado. Completely different.
-
If that things blows, we are all Smurfed.
-
:trollface: What have I done?
-
You Smurfed up, you did.

Who would star in that steaming SyFy original?

The social media tie in would be "YOU decide Katy Perry's fate! Tweet your vote - #KatyLives or #KatyDies!!!"
-
I think you'd tweet something more like "she's hot" or "she's cold" or "she's yes" then "she's no" to vote.

Maybe "she's in" or "she's out?"
