Apparently, my arrival on this planet was hearalded by a mountain exploding.
(OK, it didn't blow the *whole* mountain up - it just put a very large
crater into it. And sent a column of ash 7,000 feet into the sky.
Covered everything within 3 miles of the mountain with a light dusting
of ash. That kinda thing.)
It just seemed like an appropriately appocolyptic way for the Earth to
greet my arrival. ;-)
Of course, a few months after *that*, the same mountain exploded again,
and this time it permanently etched its name in our history books...

That would've been my guess.

I don't believe he's THAT old!
I believe the last explosion type eruption was late 1800's .... minor 20th
century activity.

Yes. Hence the attempted poke at our young one.
I'm old enough to remember Mt St Helens quite clearly. Not quite old
enough to remember Krakatoa or Tambora. Thera definitey pre-dates me
but sometimes I feel that old :)
