Facebook Went Down!

Nations worldwide are beginning to recover after Facebook went down for a few minutes on Thursday, September 24, 2015. "I just never thought it could happen," said Tracy Birdwell of Sacramento, CA. "Every so often you see posts from your friends about Twitter or Netflix going down, but never in my wildest dreams did I think it could happen to Facebook." Birdwell is not alone in her belief that the world's second most popular website (behind Google) was unbreakable. "I was absolutely stunned. The thought of a second without Facebook, let alone a few minutes, was completely foreign to me before today," said Roger Blackburn from his hospital bed in Waco, Texas.

People all over the world have taken to the now-restored Facebook to discuss the outage and try to decide where we should go from here. Several users have started to make plans to rebuild and remember this solemn day, while others believe we should try to erase the outage from history 1984-style in order to preserve the infallible image of Facebook. President Obama has yet to make a statement on the event, but the nation anxiously awaits any sort of leadership to help us through this difficult time.

Interactive: Bubble Gone

You awake in your bed, as you do every other afternoon after a hard night of Netflix and Mountain Dew. Upon standing you notice a piece of paper peeking from behind your sweat-stained pillow. You pull it out and unfold it.

Dear Ronald,

While you were midway through a Netflix binge of the fourth season of Melrose Place, I decided that the monotony of your life has really been dragging my mood down. In an effort to get you out of the house, I have set up a bit of a game around town. I have hidden your most prized possession in a secret location and you have to go find it. If you don't, you'll never see it or me ever again. 

Love, your girlfriend, 
Christine

With a sigh you look around your room to see what Christine has hidden from you. Your eyes fall on the locked wooden box you keep on your dresser. You retrieve the key to the box from your nightstand drawer and unlock the box. Your eyes are met with the bare wood of the bottom of the box. Christine took your bubble gum collection and hid it somewhere around town!

Do you:

Shower, get dressed, and then go search for clues to find your precious collection.

Immediately sprint out the door, unbathed and clothed only in a t-shirt and boxer shorts. Someone could be chewing your collection right now!

Forget about the collection and go back to watching Netflix. You've kind of outgrown bubble gum collecting anyway.
