'twas I

It was me.


Or should that be I...


Hmmm...  I know!  *snaps claws*  'TWAS I.


I like that.  Yup, I like that a lot.  Makes me sound all super smart and stuff, it does.


'TWAS I!


MOUSES!


Hey Peepers!  If Zuckerberg calls back, tell him I'm not in, would ya?


What do MEAN he's on the other line?  What do you MEAN?


Oh for mousin' out loud.


MOUSES!


Hey Marky!  Marky Baby, how have you been?


Yeah, I know we were just talkin' a few minutes ago.  Don't know how we got disconnected.  Must have been a bad line...


Or maybe my paw accidentally slipped causin' me to hang up.


MOUSES!


So Marky Baby...  Where were we, huh?


Oh yeah.


Uh-huh, uh-huh...


Yeah, yeah, millions of users...  No, HUNDREDS of millions, you say.


Figures.


MOUSES!


So um...  So how come you're callin' me?


Yeah, I KNOW I accepted responsibility for the mass Facebook outage the other day.  But in my own defense...


Umm...


Well that was just somethin' I said over on Twitter.


Well OF COURSE I didn't admit to bein' responsible on Facebook.  Facebook was down, remember?  I couldn't log on.


Sometimes it's hard to believe this guy is actually in charge over there.


MOUSES!


So like I said, how come you're callin' me?


Again.


MOUSES!


Uh-huh, uh-huh...  Yeah, you already mentioned the hundreds of millions of users who were impacted.  All 'round the globe...  Yeah, yeah, in practically every country....  Okay, I've got it now, Marky-poo.  Lots of people were upset, and they're all complainin' to you, and... 


But...  But again, I've gotta ask: how come you're callin' ME?


Oh.


You did, huh?  You actually DID trace that ol' outage back to me?


Hmmm...


Well...


Well...


Well have you looked at Facebook lately, Zuckerberg, my man?  I mean, have you actually REALLY LOOKED?  REALLY AND TRULY LOOKED?  Like looked long and hard?  'Cause if you have, you'll notice there are a whole lotta cats over on Facebook usin' it every single day.  Every single hour.  Every minute, in fact!  We cats have got fan pages and profiles and memes all about us, and...


And...


And cats have a way of makin' mischief, you see.  A slip of the paw here...  A flick of the tail there...  Some loose fur drifts down into the computer and gets into where it shouldn't be gettin', and...


BAMM!


So it's like this, Marky, my man: You've gotta make Facebook cat-proof, you see.  You've gotta make your product able to handle the antics of us cats!


EVERY THINK ABOUT THAT?


It's no wonder they're all upset at you.


MOUSES!

  5. Phew, that lets Mrs H off the hook. I'd told her balancing a sherry glass on her nose would end in trouble. OK so that was just spillage, but that cascaded onto me and I jumped up and knocked over the lamp whhich hit a tea cup which rolled off the table onto the floor. Mrs H then slipped on that, burnt her toe and hopped around and landed on an upturned electrical plug which made her scream and ...... OK, to shorten the story, once the fireman that came to put out the blaze, he pulled the circuit breaker just as Mrs H was posting the injuries from the ambulance. It seemed logical Mrs H was the culprit! I mean it coulld happen to anyone, right???
    But you have a hotline to Facebook boss, wow! Maybe, in return to us cats not downing FB, he could give us some of his wealth, or free treats. Worht posting that I reckon!

  7. Seville, I simply figured that I wasn't close enough to my wifi, so I didn't know there were an outage until there wasn't an outage anymore!
