I have no idea whats up with the financial markets, but I just talked to my dad (just checkin' in - once a week or so to make sure the house hasn't blown up.) Said my Aunt/Uncle got a notification from their employer about their mutual fund. Turns out they had invested in Wachovia. 52 week high was ~$55, closed @ ~$1 today. Not good...

As silly as this question is, what about:

Hurricane Katrina
the tsunami
The earthquake in China

and all the other huge disasters that are happening that no one cares about because of
katrina
tsunami
earth quake

5. Chinese space program
4. Darfur genocide
3. Russia's rise to the world stage, v.3.0
2. Global warming awareness
1. 9/11
