He is risen!!!!!!!!

At 6:51 PM EST on May 7, 2005. Google and all of its services were down.

Soon after, the apocalypse occured in Madison Wisconsin, but nobody noticed because google was down.

Eh.

Hmmm. Google Maps works for me but not Google. Odd.

Think this has anything to do with that guy who defaced the likeness of the Virgin Mary that was recently discovered under a Chicago underpass?

billybobsky · 2005-05-07, 17:54

Actually this isn't that funny.

Holy hell, what happens if the internets die???

what the hell am I gonna do on saturday nights????

Moogs · 2005-05-07, 18:02

Man... Google really is hosed. I can't even do a search without getting one of those URL error pages. FUBAR.

SilentEchoes · 2005-05-07, 18:06

Works fine for me..

Wrao · 2005-05-07, 18:10

maps.google and new.google aren't working for me.

google.com is working fine though.

billybobsky · 2005-05-07, 18:30

A minor crisis... alas...

Still the first time I have seen it...

Random Hero · 2005-05-07, 18:41

I often wondered what would occur if google were to go offline. I imagined how much the web would suffer.

But I guess it finally happened and everything turned out ok.

LoCash · 2005-05-07, 18:42

Has anyone else been having trouble loading google results into new tabs with safari 2.0? for some reason it wont work unless I drag the url into the tab bar (a new feature in safari IIRC).

FYI, that's not a new feature. It's been around for quite some time (not sure how long, maybe forever?).

I guess the irony here is that of all the popular search engines. Google is the only one with two buttons 'search' and 'I'm feeling lucky'
