The volcano which has been erupting for the last few weeks in Iceland (and no, I wont spell it), causing huge amounts of travel disruption for those living in Europe, has now become a source of cash for Icelanders with an eye for a quick buck.

“But how?” I hear you cry. Well, those crazy buggers up north are selling volcanic ash by the jar to those individuals who simply must have a healthy supply of powered rock at all times. Yes, I don’t know either.

Apparently it is meant as a keepsake. You know, for those who live nowhere near a volcano yet will treat the whole event as if it happened in their back yard – Daily Mail readers are prime candidates I guess.

Still not sure what to make of it though – after all, the Icelanders need all the money they can get hold of right now with their banks all collapsing. And at the price they’re asking – £75 for 160 grams of ash – they’ll probably make enough!
