The ministry had originally stated that a ship dropping its anchor on the two key cables was most likely responsible for Wednesday's cut in service that robbed Egypt, Saudi Arabia and India of most of their internet connections.

I took your comment seriously and went there.
And you're the reason for my headache from all that laughter :)
You owe me a KABOOM pill to kill the hurt in my head :)

Who's the beneficiary of bringing the Internet down anyway? The Post Office?
kyle, then my work here is done ;)
I think some dastardly villain with a Persian cat on his lap may be progressively shutting down the internet in his bid to take over the world. In the absence of the late Ian Fleming, perhaps Clive Cussler could get Dirk Pitt(tm) to investigate...
Ah - Dirk is my hero. Such a shame that Cussler retired him. He would have dived down and talked to those whales and straightened everything out - and he would have found Atlantis while doing so AND repaired the cables with his bare hands in less than a day.
Brn: I was hoping that someone would play with the title - you done good! :-)
It is global warning [sic].
