In an event being called completely unprecedented by ERSI, GIS systems throughout the world have crashed. Products such as ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Online and Google Earth have ceased functioning.

Calls to ERSI headquarters in Redlands, CA resulted in little insight into the cause of the situation or anticipated resolution.

"We have no idea," said Will Nahtcare, when asked about the cause of the outage. "It appears that all mapping systems in the world will be down for foreseeable future."

When asked if he thought foreign meddling could be at play, Nahtcare sighed and ended the call.

Sources close to the situation confirm that restoration can not be made until the cause of the outage has been clearly determined.

Maintenance crews at ERSI HQ found a lose wire in the mens' restroom covered in a suspicious of yellow liquid. Above the soaked wire were the following words scribbled on the wall: "GIS SUX." It cannot be confirmed whether this finding is related to the outage.

Sources confirm that things are really going to suck tomorrow for a Massachusetts man by the name of Robby Sushi, who needs to make some kinda map or something for a drill tomorrow.

"I mean, it really doesn't matter," said co-worker, GIS Genius and world renowned hero, Denise Kockis. "He was just going to screw it up anyway."

More on this story as it develops after a few beers.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
