So -- kraken or espionage?

[alfreda89]

In the past week four of the undersea cables that handle Internet voice and email have been cut or shut down. The mainstream media had not caught on as of boingboing.net today. What's your guess? Sabotage so a few somebodies can get taps into the cable? The kraken got tired of the reverb on the ocean floor? Earthquake?

Supposedly it was a ship that tried to drop anchor in bad weather, and caught the cables and ripped them loose.

But I like the kraken better.

But I like the kraken better.

After that 40+ foot octopus/squid was found on shore a couple years ago, I also think the kraken's a better story.... (ominous music)

After the third, we decided a fourth would mean sabotage.

I'm voting for sabotage.

Might actually be 5 cables disabled.

Kraken seems to me to be the least disturbing of the possibilities...

I like the kraken better, too. Sometimes the truth is just boring.

I think that the Sperm whales have finally had enough!

I think the kraken theory is more interesting, too. :)

R votes for the Cloverfield monster... But we're betting earthquake.

I'm finding five a little hard to swallow. Probably sabotage. **Sigh**
