[sdiy] Welcome to the Twilight Zone

[Scott Gravenhorst]

Some possibilities you may not have considered:

Leprachauns
Chemtrails
Rods
Wood Nymphs
A _working_ cold fusion unit nearby (extremely rare)
Electropsychokenesis
Zero point energy flux
Alien technology operating nearby (check the back yard for crop circles)
VooDoo (a synth doll and patch matrix pins)
Reverse Time Vortex
Magic

My guess is that there is a dodgey connection somewhere.  Interesting
manifestation though.
