I suspect that this has something to do with today being April
First
called "April Fool's Day". My sister in Pittsburgh is one year
oloder
today. Since she was born a couple months permature she was a
pretty big
April Fool's surprise.
Have Fun,

Internet To Close For Maintenance This Weekend
April 1, 2005 Posted: 6:36 AM EDT (1136 GMT)
BERN, Switzerland (Reuters) -- Long-scheduled maintenance will
bring the
Internet down this Saturday from 9PM to 3AM Greenwich Mean Time.
The Internet Architecture Board, in coordination with the United
Nations,
has planned an "infrastructure maintenance window" for several
years.
According to IAB Senior Consultant Ursula Techenspüf "such a
massive network
requires occasional maintenance to upgrade aging equipment." Also
planned is
the first resorting of IP (Internet Protocol) numbers since
before the
dotcom boom.
Techenspüf added "Years ago, when the Internet was largely
academic, such
maintenance was not as stressful or disruptive. Most maintenance
can be
performed on a 'hot' network now, but resetting of the Internet
core still
requires taking it down."
Users should not expect to lose much data, although experts do
warn of a
potential data surge when the network comes back up, and advise
users to
bring systems back on the network slowly and cautiously.
