Wednesday WTF #2: ICANN Domains Hijacked
On June 27 New York Times reported that Turkish Hackers ‘hijacked’ a few of the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) domain names. Last Thursday (July 3) ICANN confirmed these attacks mentioning that social hacking was partially involved. It should not be possible that the company in charge of assigning IP address and domain names loses, even temporarily, control of their domain names? Of course they are probably constantly under attack, nonetheless wtf?

>>Did the hijackers make them land in Cuba?
Fortunately the hijackers only had control for about 20 minutes. That would give them about enough time to make it over the Mediterranean Sea 
I don’t believe I’ve had any of Adam’s poached eggs. Now I have even more things to go visit them for: Original Pancake House, poached eggs, guitar hero, and of course just to hang out.

Bad joke. Sorry.
I haven’t eaten a poached egg made by Adam in over 24 hours and I’m losing my mind.
