Default Speaking of Michael Jackson...

I was just reading something quite interesting.

Apparently, when MJ died, or it was reported that he died, the
Internet had it's biggest rush of traffic EVER in the history of the
innertubes.

So much so that Twitter had to restrict traffic for up to ten minutes
until the queue cleared.

And this was for a guy who hasn't had a hit record in - what, ten
years?

I wonder what would have happened if Twitter had been around when
Elvis died.

The world would have ended. :)
