    the Egyptian government is blocking internet and SMS services. Mubarak is trying to put Egypt under a media and communications blackout.

    Real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice! Cats and dogs living together. Mass hysteria!

    I always get moved by videos like that. That's a really good quote at the end by JFK.

    Wikipedia says:
    The 2011 Egyptian protests or the Youth Revolution,[7] are a series of street demonstrations, protests, and civil disobedience acts that have taken place in Egypt since 25 January 2011, with organisers counting on the Tunisian uprising to inspire the crowds to mobilize. The demonstrations and riots were reported to have started over police brutality, state of emergency laws, unemployment, desire to raise the minimum wage, lack of housing, food inflation, corruption, lack of freedom of speech, and poor living conditions.[8] The protests' main goal is to oust President Hosni Mubarak's regime, which has been in power for almost 30 years.[1]

    A friend of mine lives right on a street corner where it all started and shared some amazing photos from last Tuesday on facebook:

    before 2PM

    then it slowly started



    ppl breaking out barricades


    edit: there are lots more but i'm not sure if they're worth showing. don't think he's been online since yesterday (d'oh)
