You were gone? Really? Ummm... BTW, are we supposed to know who you are?

{I know what **really** happened with this blackout! Dr. Evil was testing
his ionospheric <finger-quotes on>heater<finger-quotes off>, which created
electric currents running through the ionospheric <finger-quotes on,
pronunciation like Dr. Evil's "magma">plasma<finger-quotes off,
pronunciation off>. These currents caused fluctuations in the power grid,
causing the blackout. Dr. Evil will now demand the world governments pay
him ONE HUNDRED TRILLION QUADRILLION GAZILLION DOLLARS or he will turn off
power around the world.}
