7. Squirrels get into them this time of year ...
You know, once the weather turns, they seek shelter in the vast tubes of The Internets.

6. I too was productive....
I was SOOO close to discovering the key to peace in the Middle East when my internet connection started up again. Now I'm back to my DU addiction so the whole peace thing will have to take a backseat for now. :D
