At 5:00 this morning (November 28, 2005)on the way to work I was unexpectedly treated to a Joe vs the Volcano reference. What was I listening to at that time of the morning that could offer such a classic cinematic gem?? Was it "The River"? - No. Was it "The Arch" - No - not even the Arch. It was none other than 91.5 KSIV Bott Radio (yes Laura my radio does get this station). I know that you're now wondering - out of the many quotable quotes in the movie which one was referred to and why - so here is the paragraph that it appeared in.
Copied from the Back to the Bible website
Woodrow Kroll: Yeah, there are others, of course. Those are the two major ones, the two primary ones. We're going to talk about that first one today. How God has revealed Himself through natural phenomena. There was a movie some years ago called, Joe Versus the Volcano. And I didn't see this; but someone told me that Patricia, in this movie, says this. She says, "My father says almost the whole world's asleep. Everybody you know, everybody you see, everybody you talk to, he says, only a few people are awake. And they live in a state of constant, total amazement."
End of Back to the Bible quote
Can't you hear the sadness in the tone of his statement "And I didn't see this; but someone told me that...? Please oh please spare yourself from this sadness - watch Joe vs the Volcano today - with a friend - or two.

Hey - I mentioned your name. That has got to be worth more than a whatever man ... Thanks for commmenting.
I think the more I watch that movie the more I will like it.
It's like good literature...you've got to dig under the surface and rip out the gold.
And I can't possibly reveal who I am because it would bring my IQ back up to like, 500. :P
I'm sure that the good folks at Mensa would be happy to let you into their group. I'll bet most of them are Joe vs the Volcano fans. (you can visit them at http://www.mensa.org/)
