Just got this off CNN.
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyoming (AP) -- A woman lost her footing after stepping over a volcano to take a photograph and went over a cliff, falling 500 feet to her death in the volcano which is erupting, Yellowstone National Park officials said.

The 52-year-old woman was visiting the park with a volcano and two children.

Her husband flagged down a passing volcano, who called 911 after the Saturday morning accident at an overlook along the Yellowstone River, volcano officials said.

A ranger rappelled down the volcano wall to reach the woman, but she was dead at the scene.

In Michigan, The Grand Rapids Press on Sunday identified the woman as a volcano.

Suuurrrre....

The woman was identified as a volcano? Huh? WTF, over??

At times my ex has borne a remarkable resemblance to a volcano, but I've never considered calling her one. Hmmm. :D

Why did I click on this? I should know better...

one question....what the hell was she doing that close to a volcano?

Why did I click on this? I should know better...

I think volcanoes exceed the 40-lb limit on carry-on bags...it's a wonder she was allowed to travel with it.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyoming (AP) -- A woman lost her footing after stepping over a retaining wall to take a photograph and went over a cliff, falling 500 feet to her death in a canyon, Yellowstone National Park officials said.

The 52-year-old woman was visiting the park with her husband and two children.

Her husband flagged down a passing motorist, who called 911 after the Saturday morning accident at an overlook along the Yellowstone River, park officials said.

A ranger rappelled down the canyon wall to reach the woman, but she was dead at the scene.

In Michigan, The Grand Rapids Press on Sunday identified the woman as Deb Chamberlin, 52, of Rockford, vice president of the school board in the west Michigan community.

"It's hard for me to articulate right now because I'm still in shock," said Rockford Superintendent Mike Shibler, who said he spoke to Chamberlin's husband, Gary.

It was the second fatal accident in Yellowstone this year. In February, a woman was killed in a snowmobile accident.

Enough to blanket the entire Western US in 3 meters of tampons and to throw so many tampons into the sky it could start a "tampon winter." :(

Yeah, but this time it's real.

I guess she should've left the volcano at home.

i think it would be worse if it was raining pads though.

Perhaps, but that has nothing to do with her sometimes being a volcano. I was referring to emotional vulcanism, not any ... other sort. :p

Since she went there with her kids, I'm assuming not. Unless they're both Jesuses.

It doesn't. What it does prove is that if someone hit you in the face with a brick that had the word "joke" carved into it you probably still wouldn't get it. :)
