MyApocalypse - Web Crash 2007
If you’re a web fan and blogger like me, the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse must surely be the one smashing up the servers and hard drives and wires that keep the internet going.
The satirical website The Onion has this very funny news report on what it might be like if there was
a Web Crash 2007. You’ll need the sound enabled on your computer to get the jokes.

UPDATE: In the light of the outage in the San Francisco Bay Area yesterday 23 July 2007, perhaps this satirical news report has actually come true? The Scientific American has the scoop.

That’s seriously brightened up my afternoon. Though my favourite Onion piece remains their ferocious post-09-11 account of God’s press-conference.

I’ve just checked out the God’s press conference piece, Michael, and it is fiercely sad, angry and funny all at the same time. Thanks for that pointer.
