My link is NOT 7 years old; the article on BBC was 7 years old.  I can't help it they recycle important feature articles on the for the Common Good. 

And actually, BBC does that a lot (about my only criticism of their online news).  You have to be pretty careful about checking the dates on something you are reading.

And... do you know why the cycle times are so odd?   Because... since they are both prime numbers, the chance that they will both erupt in the same year is very very small!  (less competition)
