Guy in a lawn-chair on a ridge overlooking Mount St. Helens:

"I'm hoping I can be a part of history, and witness a wonderful catastrophic event here."

I didn't catch his name, but we might very well be hearing more of his story soon...

3. I nominate him for the 2005 Darwin Awards!
His demise would be a catastrophic success (catastrophic for him - success for the human race!!!)

4. There was an old timer named Harry Truman (really) that
lived near MSH and refused to leave before the big one in 1980, in spite of many strong warnings. He was never heard of again after the eruption.
