I found this link at the MCLOZ forums. Obviously, this is just a theory as it says at the bottom of the report but still...

I say it's just a bunch of humorless crap that the tabloids spit out.

It's Weekly World News, so I'd bet my grandma its crap.

However, just to be on the safe side, let's start looting now.

Riiiight. I don't know about you, but honey ham is my favorite. No one's taking that away from me, volcano god or not!

And you're right, the article is probably fake. There have been a lot of "End of the World" theories. Why should we believe this one? It's filed under "Gossip", for goodness sake!

I couldn't resist--this is too great of an article XD. The end of the world has always held a special sparkle in my mind. Definitely an opportunity for another Great Awakening. ^^

Wikipedia has a good assessment on the validity of the claims:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Cloud

The Google Answers Debate (linked to from the wiki) also brings up some great points. But personally, I think the most humorous parts of the article are the places where it's painstakingly "safe":

Quote"The good news is that this finding confirms several cutting- edge ideas in theoretical physics," announced Dr. Albert Sherwinski, a Cambridge based astrophysicist with close ties to NASA."

What cutting-edge ideas? And awfully shifty credits for Albert, ^^. Oh, and to cherry it off:

Quote"The existence of this so called chaos cloud is only a theory. Americans shouldn't panic until all the facts are in."

The rest of the world, of course, can panic as much as they like.

I tell you, It's going to be the end of the world for many Zelda fans if they cancel Twilight Princess. Yes, I never get tired of complaining about the many delays.  8)

Yeah, tabloid magazines always make stuff up. :(
That's where they get their money.
