It could have been an accident, someone typing in their name, and getting all confused why it wouldn't work, and asked blizzard to reset it, not realizing that they were an idiot and typed in the wrong username (because I don't think that real hackers would ask blizzard to reset your password, because that makes no sense).
It does depend on how common your blizzard username is and how easy it would be in accidentally (instead of theirs), but I think that's the most likely cause.

Actually, this one of the main ways people use to get into accounts. If they know your email address, they get into that, then reset your password. This one is a newby and forget the first part of it. If he's a hacker, that is.

Apparently you can stand beneath an atomic air burst and be relatively fine. Providing the initial gamma radiation doesn't screw with your cells and the shockwave doesn't do you harm (and you make it out before the fallout begins falling) - you'll walk out fine. Well probably not walk, since you can't exactly out-walk fallout, but you get the idea.

Was playing an online game this evening, and someone shows up in global chat going on about..something or other. Apparently there is air in space and sound. He also claimed to be a "meteologist" and when pressed for evidence about his claims (proved in the 1950s, IIRC), either grew evasive and started going on about trees falling in the middle of the forest or told us to "look it up". Not sure if troll or raving lunatic.

Well yeah, thats the key thing, he has to know your email address+password first. Not knowing it turns "good method of gaining access" to "completely nonsensical action".

It's possible it was a fake email, to try and get you to reset your password on a site that isn't Blizzard's. Of course, that still has the problem of it either being fairly obviously (not that this is a problem, lots of people are really dumb) a scam (if you need your current password to recover it then there's something wrong) or not actually giving them your password.

For the last week, my dreams have seemed more real than my waking time. I don't feel tired, I just sleep when it seems right. Everything just seems off. It's quite odd. So many things are so weird; it all doesn't seem right, somehow.

With insomnia, nothing is real. Everything is far away. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy....

This is how I feel, except it's all around me. Not physically-seeming far away, but distinct and separate from myself and conscious. Sort of like the feeling you get from Animal Crossing.

A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 - by Isao Hashimoto

Starts slow as hell and gets jiggy in the 60's and everyone blamed the drugs!
Now think the people born then are ruling your country.
Its also a massive waste of uranium, say a minimum of 7kg each and we know they were not using the minimum. Thats 14,371Kg of Uranium wasted or 43,113,000 Tonne worth of Coal energy wasted. 43 million tones of coal at a minimum gone up in the air as in some sort of alpha male mating ritual. Probably who has the smallest brain.
I support nuclear for fuel using 4th generation at a minimum tech. Too many of current designs belong in scrap heap.

My sleep patterns are so messed up right now. At the moment I feel so, so tired, it's weird.
Also I had a can of coffee-infused Monster energy today, that messed me up. I felt quite ill for a moment after taking a couple of swigs, and then I had a massive, hyped-up rush for a few hours, giggling to myself and all, until I eventually crashed majorly.
Maybe you aren't supposed to drink that stuff on an empty stomach. It was a lot like being drunk, actually.

And now I've gotten a few hours sleep and am drinking some 'Rockstar Energy'. This time I'm just getting the tired part, sadly.

[ChairmanPoo]

Suggestion: if your sleep patterns are messed up, drink less caffeinated bewerages. And not at all after 2 P M

Gorillas not as dumb as people think.

We should teach them more, so they can even the odds.
