It looks like CNN.com was quick on the story too. I might have to watch the Daily Show tonight, because i know Jon Stewart is going to flip this around as the news making it the world's main issue. many lol's to follow.

Don’t be so quick to blame it on a virus. Last night I told all my friends to check out Mental Floss on Twitter. My bad.

Thanks, y’all. It’s not every day that I get to trot out my old dialing-the-phone analogy. :)
