Speaking of Tsunamis and islands and shit - I saw an amazing documentary on National Geographic last night about a a volcanic island off the west coast of Africa. If the volcano ever erupts, one whole half of the island will slip into the sea - landmass equivalent to the size of greater London. The displacement sends a a big wave towards the east coast of the US.

Yep, a 650 metre tall wave...
