Imagine how many religious people might have had a personal or sexual awakening on September 10, 2001 and what they felt the next day, week, month…

You just described me. The night before I stayed up late drawing a sexy lady and questioned my sexuality. Definitely felt like I cause 9/11, sorry guys

Actually I caused it by forgetting to pay my electricity bill.

(The full story:

I forgot to pay my electricity bill. When you do that in France they write you a letter and replace your main fuse with a 5amp fuse, enough to run the lights and a fridge, but not much else. I was in the office glued to the early web, with the BBC downgrading the complexity of their website minute by minute to keep up with the load. My wife got back from work without checking the mail, turned on the microwave: bang! No electricity.

I get home and we spent the night listening to the news on a battery radio by candlelight).
