The Icelandians are even weirder than the Canadians (Which is a feat!)

So has anyone seen the name of the volcano in Iceland that is currently exploding and covering Europe with giant clouds of ash? and pissing people in France off?

(And let me say Kudos! to that! The pissing people in France off part. Not the covered in ash part. Honestly, have you ever tried to speak French? You understand my sentiments about the French now.)

Here is the name of the exploding volcano:

Eyjafjallajökull

Seriously? How do you even begin to say that? Is this a viking thing? I don't understand how you can make a word out of only consonants. (Those vowels are silent.) The only thing I can figure is that Iceland was colonized by Canadia. They have weird names for things. Like Canadia, for example. Who names their country Canadia? There's a town in Ontario (again?) called, are you ready for this, Ochiichagwebabigoining. Yeah okay. Saskatchewan, Skookumchuc, Nunavutand and Pickle Lake are just a few examples of strange places in Canadia.

But here is my point: If you live in Iceland on the slope of an active volcano, wouldn't you name it something easy to yell. Isn't it kind of anti-climatic to scream:

"OH MY GOD, Eyjafjallajökull is EXPLODING!"

Your neighbors would look at you and ask if you need a tissue. Wouldn't you name it something like Bob, or Volcano, or even "That giant mound of dirt." "Oh my God, That giant mound of dirt is exploding!" is pretty explanatory to me. Something has to be easier than trying to hack up the phlegm from your ash infested lungs to sound out the name of the thing that's causing your lungs to have that problem to begin with. Or maybe...
