Nostrils of Satan: Geysers of Old Faithful

I had a quiet first day of 2007; drinking tea, eating Peek Freans, and reading this great little book I picked up a while back at a Value Village in Montana. Nostrils of Satan: Geysers of Old Faithful (Creative Fundamentals Press, 1948) is a fascinating read.

I admit I bought it because I'm a sucker for books with "Satan" in the title, but this thin tome is quite informative, and raises many questions about the real geologic history of Yellowstone National Park. Apparently this little book is at the center of a controversy between "scientists" and those godly people who would rather we stay home quietly, drinking tea and eating almost flavorless cookies. The "smart" people can't even get the title right, which does make you wonder about some of the other theories they promote.

Old Faithful sure has a nice girth.
