    It is a power station fire in New York.

    Is it causing some of the performance problems we appear to be seeing the last couple of hours, maybe routers down because of the outages.

    A lightning strike near Niagara Falls caused it. Although it is kind of amusing to watch Bush Jr. say "This was not a terrorist act." And now, somehow, it's gone from the power outage to the Homeland Security. Anyhow, it was all started by that evil bitch, Mother Nature.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    I'm pretty sure that the lightning strike was caused by fanatical Al Qaeda members on holiday in North Korea constantly rubbing balloons against their woolly jumpers.

    Therefore this completely justified an all out invasion of North Korea...

    ...and Iran, just for the hell of it.

    Yeah, I live in detroit and my whole city got shut down no lights anywhere unless u had a generator which I need. Although nighttime was fun I'm happy the lights are back on.

    I wouldn't be too shocked if something like that comes out of the White House.
