I remember when I heard the news. I was sitting in I think science class in my freshman year of high school, some kid told me a plane hit the empire state building to which I literally said "that's dumb" . Later on in I think English class we had the tv on watching the news. I was kind of miffed we didn't get let out of school early since a lot of schools on the east coast were reporting bombs threats and I thought "schweet half day!".

I went home that night and played Diablo 2 where all the boomers on battle.net were frothing fash over killing Muslims, so by then the brainworms had already set in.
