    When we cause the internet to go down, it's normally limited to our
    respective flats - not, say, 90% of a whole country, like one elderly
    lady in Georgia managed the other day.

    The as yet unnamed 75-year-old woman caused the websplosion after
    damaging some surprisingly important fibre-optic wires scavenging
    for copper in the village of Ksani, central Georgia.

    March 28th was the date of the half-day internet blackout, and since
    then the woman in question has been arrested and reportedly faces up
    to three years in prison.

    "Taking into account her advancing years, she has been released pending
    the end of the investigation and subsequent trial," a Georgian Railway
    Telecom company spokesman told AFP news agency.

    For our part, we hope she doesn't get thrown into chokey because she
    cut the wrong wire. It's bloody annoying for Mr. and Mrs. Armenia,
    we know, but she's an old lady and God knows we've removed the wrong
    plug by accident a few times. How was she to know just one cable
    would power most of Armenia?

    Time to get your act together, Georgian Railway Telecom - this lady's
    done you a favour and pointed out a serious security flaw. You should
    be grateful. You know, in a way...
