Power Outage Shuts Off Brains of Florida Drivers

A major power outage could ruin your day. If, like me, you have a well, you can forget about washing your hair or even flushing. You couldn't get a drink of water, so you'd be stuck with beer. No sacrifice, unless it was an extended outage, in which case the beer would get warm.

But I'm being selfish. Because my concerns are nothing compared to those South Floridians struck by today's massive power outage. The power to their brains was shut off, and they couldn't figure out how to drive through intersections, as reported by that bastion of hard news, cnn.com.
