If this had happened in DC, there would be panic buying of TP, bread and milk.
Those outside the beltway would be cheering for the alients

that's what i was referring to oneblank. it set off a national hysteria.

NUMA: Panic buying of TP, at $17 per roll?
(See post a few above this one)
Let there be panic. It's good for the economy ;)

(I also got to perform in a live stage version of Welle's WotW, complete with stand-up mikes, sound effects, and music. One of my roles was the radio news reporter who stayed on the air describing the poison gas coming closer: "Fifty feet...Forty feet...Thirty feet..."

Still can be scary, and lots of fun!

No problem -- just hack their computers with a virus, because aliens use Windows. I learned that from Independence Day.

If we stand back long enough, Windows will probably self-destruct.

It hasn't already? I think Win 8 is pretty darn close.
