    @dc-united: The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale. #flamegate

    You are in front of a blinding white tear in the fabric of the night.

    C:\ enter light

    You are surrounded by brilliance unimaginable to your mortal mind and you crap your pants in awe. The otherworldly harmonies of Radiohead are filling your ears with audio ghosts.

    I'd be wondering why whatever supernatural force responsible for the crack in the fabric of our known reality would be so sloppy as to make it an ominous craggy orifice into the unknown, rather than a nice rectangle, or even semicircle.

    Then I'd go in. What the hell. #flamegate

    @Kaiser-Machead: Perhaps the supernatural (or merely "advanced") force responsible finds asymmetry appealing? If so, our bilateral symmetry might offend them mightily. Best to hack your face up a bit, first, just to be sure. #flamegate

    First, I would piss my pants. Then I would inspect the light from afar to try to figure out what it was. If I can't figure it out from that distance, I would run away, screaming like a 7th grade girl who just saw the Jonas Brothers murdered. #flamegate

    @Blaxpear: How innefficient? And how would you make it better? We could bury the lines, but then all the heat that these lines generate would be harder to dissipate and cause more problems. Then you also have to imagine all the lines that would get cut by accident during digging. But you could be right. I doubt the power companies want to harness/transmit as much power as they can. They laugh as they waste a lot of money shooting energy into the air!
