Just one week after the mysterious "crash" of Blogger, Twitter fell silent for nearly a day yesterday as users' streams all over the world simply disappeared into the cloud...
Questions are being asked around the world all over the internet in the halls of Congress here about the real story behind the outage:

Was it NATO bombing the servers in Libya?
"Bloody hell! I just lost all me Twitpics!
Rum do, that...!"
Was it the sinister Chinese?
"That's what you get for not switching
to Kylin OS, gweilo lo fa'an..."
Was it Official White House Troll and MoveOn House Husband Jesse Lee flexing his virtual muscles?
"Anytime someone says 'it's simple as black and
