LIGHT RELIEF

The Great Blackout of 2003

[On the day that the lights went out in New York/Canada (etc.) there was a lot of pannicky talk of terrorists ... but there were also some of our stateside friends who took it well, illustrated here with some great posts to MetaFilter.com]

'I welcome our new Amish overlords.'
'Let's make some babies.'
'I just got a papercut but there was no evidence of terrorist activity.'
'We have power in Georgia. Also indoor plumbing, some of us.'
'DEFCON 1, Bears over the Pole. God bless you Richard Nixon, wherever you are.'
'Unconfirmed reports of a plauge of locusts heading from the south.'
'Somebody must have plugged in their Dancing Santa.'
